Why Sensoril Ashwagandha has F on fakespot?

It definitely gets me riled up. I used to believe in reviews before I ran a company like this, too. I figured some were fake, but if there were enough of them you could make a determination on something. WRONG! It's all bullshit. 95% of reviews online are fake or paid for. In fact, the more reviews a product has, the more you can obfuscate and get fake reviews in without their shitty systems detecting it. Then you have these other reviews sites that attempt to make it look like they are helping consumers find fake reviews, but they are just as misleading as the reviews themselves! The best one we have found so far is Google Customer Reviews. That's because you have to apply for approval from Google, who audits you first. Then once you are approved, you have to integrate with them so they can verify customers are real. Then Google randomly selects customers after they order from us to ask for reviews. So you know all reviews are real legitimate customers that have been verified to have actually ordered from the company. Anyone can go on Trustpilot and make a review, but you have to actually order from us to make a Google customer review. We have no control over what reviews show up, or who gets asked. We can't even respond to them. It's about as objective as it gets. I kind of wish we could respond, but that's my only issue with it. However, from a customer standpoint you know they are real and objective.

Don't even get me started on all the "educational" sites out there "helping" people to determine what products are good, and who to buy from. They are all just paid affiliate marketing sites whoring themselves out to whomever pays them the highest affiliate commission. They tell people the brands they recommend are because they trust them, but when I show them we tested their product and found it was fake or impure, they don't stop sending people to them unless you agree to either match or beat the affiliate commissions they are getting. It's all about the money. The entire internet is a den of lies and deceit. Objective and independent blogs no longer exist. They died when SEO experts and digital marketing people figured out they could game Google's algorithms to rank higher than anyone else, and then profit off sending people to these sites by using affiliate tags. Some sites want 35% affiliate commissions!!! That's fucking insane! There's no feasible way to make those numbers work. So they only promote the shitty scam companies that have those margins to be able to give. Reddit can be good, but it depends on the specific subreddit and how well it is moderated. We try really hard with /r/Nootropics to ensure things are objective. If we were less proactive, it would be filled with as much shilling and fake reviews as the rest of the internet. It's a constant battle, because there is a lot of money in misleading people. Literally all the top brands on Amazon are there because of deception, deceit, and TOS violations. It's really hard to rank organically on Google now without breaking the rules, too. It's all a mess of SEO and keyword manipulation.
