Its the cost of the internet. While I'm sure there are negative and positive reviews that are accurate. There are bound to be fake good reviews and malicious negative reviews. the internet firmly puts power in the hands of people and allows them to get away with it with a certain level of anonymity. Frankly if review sites forced a verified link to your real name and your email address for example, these reviews wouldn't happen and you'd only get food reviews.
As a side I think it also comes down to this. If a company that I'm looking at has 90% good to great reviews and 10% bad reviews, i write it off to either a bad day or someone with an axe to grind. But if I see a pattern of a lot of bad reviews, then I take a look at the date stamps, if they're clustered there's a warning sign to me.
the oldest saying is that you can't make everyone happy all the time, there's no such thing as a truly flexible business model, just like you will rarely find an employee with a personality like a chameleon that can make everyone happy.
The internet empowers, and it super empowers the angry, ashamed and vindictive, that's the price you pay for a medium like this one.
This is what the internet is for, that and sharing midget cosplay king of thrones furry pron.
I mean at least if as a business you were given the information of the bad reviewer then you could review the reviewer, then it would be hilarious because pissing matches are obviously entertaining.
You're business sucks sir
Actually sir you suck, you were unreasonable and take a bath once in a while because three of my staff members thing that you smell like a rotten pound cake soaked in urine, oh and we called your wife and she thinks your penis is too small and you don't know how to use it right.
