A gadget maker offered me a gift card to delete my bad review.

This kind of pressure makes honest reviewing impossible.

Total garbage move. How are we supposed to trust online reviews now? It just kills the whole point.

Yeah, it really does kill the whole point. I mean, now I just assume any product with only glowing reviews is probably paying for them. Maybe we should all just start reviewing the reviews themselves. One star, this five-star rating seems fake and desperate.

Did you hear about my friend who bought a phone charger with hundreds of five-star ratings? It caught fire after two days. He found out later most reviews were paid for by the seller. Now he doesn't trust any online review sites.
