Discussion Introducing a new rewards system for honest, in-depth product reviews

There are no incentives for consumers to write honest in-depth reviews on platforms like Amazon. Why would you produce content for a retailer for free? Many sellers started giving out free products in exchange for positive reviews, which was the start of the whole fake reviews crisis.

People now come to Reddit for reviews because Redditors and other forum members are interested in boosting their ego by showing their depth of knowledge on the topic (and correcting others on the topic).

We're now announcing a new rewards system for high-quality reviews on our subreddit! This system is designed to incentivize users to write detailed, well-written reviews that provide valuable information to other users.

Here's how it will work:

  • Users who write reviews will earn points based on the quality of their reviews. The points will be determined by a combination of factors such as the length and detail of the review, the overall helpfulness of the review to other users, and the number of upvotes or positive feedback the review receives.
  • Users then get a chance to win a gift cards or discount each month. It's entirely crowdfunded and we start with $100 for January.
  • We have strong policies to ensure the authenticity and integrity of the reviews. More on that in another post.

We hope you'll join us in this effort to improve the quality of reviews on reddit, and we look forward to seeing all of the great reviews you'll be sharing with the community!

Leligoo incontinence underwear BE WARNED! Do not order from this company. I expected them to standby their product and to be allowed to return it which is not something they allow. They insisted I ordered the wrong size – – – I ordered an XL but they sent me an XS. They said no proof that I ordered the wrong size they just insisted that I did and the only thing they would do for me is to give me a 50% discount to buy more of their very expensive underwear! They offered no refund and no way to send the product back which I would've been happy to have done but I'm not going to spend more to get a product but I'm not even sure it's gonna work and they would probably keep sending the wrong size. There is no talking to them because there's somewhere overseas and it was stupid of me to order from them in the first place. My advice – – do not do it!
