The ease score is the average rating for all reviews that a given reviewer submits. The average ease score for reviewers of this product is 4.5, while the average ease score for reviewers in this category is 4.2. Based on our statistical modeling, the discrepancy in average rating between these two groups is significant enough to believe that the difference is not due to random chance, and may indicate that there are unnatural reviews.

• 
• 5%
• Created over 4 days

We counted 147 reviews for this product over the span of 5,271 days, an average of 0.0 reviews per day. If these reviews were created randomly, there would be a 99.9% chance that we would see 1 or fewer reviews on any given day.

However, we see the following 4 days exceeding this threshold:

• 2 Reviews on Feb 20, 2019 (Avg. rating: 5.0)
• 2 Reviews on Jul 10, 2020 (Avg. rating: 5.0)
• 2 Reviews on May 31, 2020 (Avg. rating: 4.0)
• 2 Reviews on Jan 18, 2021 (Avg. rating: 4.0)

In total, we found that 8 reviews were created on just 4 days. Although any days with a larger number of reviews than expected is suspicious, these reviews do not appear to have a significant impact on the overall rating.

• Reviews have been deleted

We have not discovered any deleted reviews for this product.

There are a few limitations to keep in mind regarding the Deleted Reviews test:

1. We don't have a magic ability to collect every single deleted review; we can only identify reviews as deleted if we collect them on one date and then notice they are no longer visible on a subsequent date.
2. We have no information on reviews that were never published in the first place.
3. We also don't know why these reviews were removed. It could be action from the platform, personal decision by the review author, part of an entire account closure, even some data error on our part, etc.
