Here's how easy it is to buy positive on-line reviews for a companyNBC News found thousands of questionable reviews on Amazon, Yelp, Facebook and Google, and purchased great reviews for a company that never did any work. Compare that to all the phony memes and political propaganda on social media. The geezers and sociopaths on Facebook eat it up. You can only get good reviews from Google, Amazon, and Yelp by paying. I ran into that when trying to advertise for my book. Amazon even wanted me to pay for them to show good reviews by people who has actually bought the book. That's just as easy as buying hundreds of negative reviews against a rival company.
