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.

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.

Warn Deleted Reviews
Deleted Reviews
We discovered a total of 52 deleted Reviews for this product, with an average rating of 4.9. 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.

- 12%
- Created over 93 days
We counted 8,747 reviews for this product over the span of 3,916 days, an average of 2.2 reviews per day. If these reviews were created randomly, there would be a 99.9% chance that we would see 9 or fewer reviews on any given day.
However, we see the following 93 days exceeding this threshold:In total, we found that 1,072 reviews were created on just 93 days. Although any days with a larger number of reviews than expected is suspicious, the discrepancy in ratings from reviews created on these high volume days and reviews created on other days isn't significant enough to rule out the possibility of it being due to random chance.

While this is more reviews from overrepresented word count groups than we'd expect to see, the discrepancy in ratings between reviews with overrepresented word groups and all other reviews isn’t significant enough to rule out the possibility of it being due to random chance.
