I wish I could post the review on my own site and users could easily discover it when browsing items. That makes me develop and risk a reputation.

I don’t trust sites like Airbnb and I understand how sites have problems with review fraud.

If I posted with a unique signature then over time people could learn that mine aren’t fake.

Also would be nice to know that the Airbnb reviewer also rated a restaurant and some headphones, etc.

You should also be able to give extra weight to reviewers that broadly line up with your own reviews. That way; the things that are important to you will show up. It also incentivises you to leave honest reviews.

In my mental lazy file there’s a company called antipode that is able to find people with opposite and like reviews and can help people identify and avoid items.

So you can basically collect people who review in ways that are useful to you and layer that over the web to rank search results, apartments, blenders, etc etc.

Someone should just scrape airb&b reviews as they post and never take them down. Internet archive of air B&B of sorts
