Have you noticed how you never really see your friends on the internet anymore?
Ask yourself, how much more likely are you to trust someone or something, if it comes recommended by a close friend, or someone you know.
Reviews today are totally broken, they can be spoofed, sellers can buy a thousand bot accounts, often you have no way to even verify if the seller actually bought the product in the first place. When it comes to sellers with personal sites, “Testimonials” have always been unreliable due to the fact a seller can and will only show positive things about themselves, censoring any negative content.
Today, 5 stars roughly translates to, product isn't objectively terrible, beyond that, given you know so little about the reviewers themselves, its hard to judge further.
So what is Barrow?
Barrow is a true social network, there is no algorithm, no paid advertising and no internal marketing team. All you see is shops run by your pals, and shops with positive reviews from your pals.
Every platform and marketplace today is ruthlessly gamed to extract as much money, time, and engagement from you as a user. Barrow doesn't have that problem.
Barrow gives you shops and reviews you can truly trust.
