reviews have to be the least coherent part of any ux at this point 1. you can’t verify authenticity no one really knows how legit the contents and motives of reviews are anymore i’m bullish on world for this reason: you can of course verify they’re written by humans. you could also theoretically have better visibility into the flow of capital to and from accounts (wallets), which could be used to check authenticity claims from influencers 2. you don’t see range everything’s roughly a 4.5 now. if everything’s great, nothing is. effectively nullifies the value of reviews as a consumer navigation tool we need to have higher standards and call out when something is subpar or average

I built it a while ago with @matallo.eth but there was no meaningful change The reviews on the front page were hard coded to link to reviews on Farcaster, so essentially tied to someone’s social identity, and if someone really wanted to snoop they could even find the transaction with the amount of the candle. Problem is that no one cares about the authenticity. The default is that there is always some doubt that most reviews are real, but people don’t care to verify. https://humankind.place

that’s rly dope! for me that type of social linking actually adds a lot to the credibility i do hear review authenticity being a pain point all the time, i think just haven’t found a low enough friction way to verify it weirdly, the best has been just shopping irl, easier to vet products so no need for reviews
