In today’s digital world, online reviews are often the ultimate factor in deciding whether or not you buy a product. Understanding these reviews used to be simple: if it has a hundred five-star reviews, it’s reliable; if it has eight reviews and they’re all below three stars, you know to look elsewhere. But as more and more people have started using fake reviews to boost their numbers, it’s hard to know what to believe what we read online anymore. So how can we know when to trust these reviews? Today we are joined by Saoud Khalifah, the founder of a review-tracking software called “Fakespot,” here with us to talk about recognizing authentic reviews.
