Open almost any review platform today and you’ll feel it within seconds—that subtle lack of weight behind what you’re reading. Five stars, one star, long paragraphs, short bursts of praise or outrage… it all blends together into something strangely unconvincing. Not because reviews stopped existing, but because their credibility has been diluted to the point where volume no longer signals trust. Anonymous reviews used to work when the internet was smaller, slower, and harder to manipulate.
