Reviewer Participation

- 23%
- From reviewers with an overrepresented participation
We see the following 1 participation group with a statistically significant greater concentration than what we'd expect to see:In total, we found that 176 reviewers (or 23%) are within an overrepresented participation group. These reviews have rated this product an average of 3.7, while all other reviews have rated this product an average of 3.5. 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.
Warn
Deleted Reviews
![](/public/imgs/reviewmeta/dl-icon.png)
We discovered a total of 1 deleted Review for this product, with an average rating of 4. 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 40 days
We counted 749 reviews for this product over the span of 3,849 days, an average of 0.2 reviews per day. If these reviews were created randomly, there would be a 99.9% chance that we would see 3 or fewer reviews on any given day.
However, we see the following 40 days exceeding this threshold:In total, we found that 393 reviews were created on just 40 days. This is an excessively high number of reviews submitted on these high volume days.
