The search changes every five minutes? How does changing and giving more exposure to more people slaughter portfolios? Wouldn't that help some of us. How does that hurt?

To be fair, TrustPilot is untrustworthy.

it is not, because they remove fake reviews whenever detected, but you cannot stop them all. its one of the better review sites out there

Just this evening, I wrote a 5* review on TrustPilot (not stock related) then looked through my other reviews. Only my 5* reviews remain: my others, from 4* down to 1*, have disappeared. I never got any notification about them being removed.

Not only. They remove negative reviews on demand of businesses. And for them no matter if the review is real and true. Cannot believe that they do this only as volunteers.

Well its not doing them a lot of good - im not sure there are companies on there with a lower rating - its certainly the lowest ive ever seen.

1053 reviews at the time of writing that and 93% are "bad".

Most of it isnt even angry contributors - its angry buyers. And thats MUCH more of a problem for a company.
