Hey RM community - in the spirit of full transparency, I've decided to make a public announcement...
It's been a wild adventure since launching the site 2016, however I've decided it's time for me to move on. I'm now searching for a successor to ReviewMeta. The main concern is making sure the site will stay true to its roots - helping provide transparency to an industry that's increasingly darkening.
If you know anyone who would be interested in taking over this project, let me know here. You can also read more about why I've decided to move on and what's next for me.

Analysis Details
Fail Brand Repeats
Brand Repeats
Brand Repeaters
1,574 of the 5,863 reviewers have reviewed other products for this brand. While this is more Brand Repeaters than we'd expect to see, the discrepancy in ratings between the Brand Repeaters and non-repeaters isn't significant enough to rule out the possibility of it being due to random chance.
Brand Loyalists
357 of the 5,863 reviewers have reviewed multiple products but half or more of their reviews are for this brand. This is an excessively large percentage of Brand Loyalists which may indicate unnatural reviews.
Fail Suspicious Reviewers
Suspicious Reviewers
Take-Back Reviewers
126 of the 5,863 reviewers have had at least one of their past reviews for another product deleted. While this is more Take-Back Reviewers than we'd expect to see, it does not appear to have a significant impact on the overall rating.
Single-Day Reviewers
327 of the 5,863 reviewers have written multiple reviews but posted all of them on a single day. The Single-Day reviewers have rated this product an average of 4.7 while all other reviewers rated this product an average of 4.5. 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.
Fail Reviewer Ease
Reviewer Ease
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 4.4, while the average ease score for reviewers in this category is 4.4. 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.

These reviewers have rated this product an average of 4.6 while the reviewers who have a more unique product review history rated this product an average of 4.4.

Warn Deleted Reviews
Deleted Reviews
We discovered a total of 66 deleted Reviews for this product, with an average rating of 4.7. Even though deleted reviews don't affect the average rating, the fact that action was taken to delete reviews raises some red flags about the integrity of the reviews for the product as whole.
There are a few limitations to keep in mind regarding the Deleted Reviews test:
- 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.
- We have no information on reviews that were never published in the first place.
- 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.

- Created over 240 days
We counted 5,863 reviews for this product over the span of 7,144 days, an average of 0.8 reviews per day. If these reviews were created randomly, there would be a 99.9% chance that we would see 5 or fewer reviews on any given day.
However, we see the following 240 days exceeding this threshold:In total, we found that 1,820 reviews were created on just 240 days. This is an excessively high number of reviews submitted on these high volume days.

While this is more reviews from overrepresented participation groups than we'd expect to see, these reviews do not appear to have a significant impact on the overall rating.
