Hi bwomm-team,
I just found your steemit post (:
I really am wondering, if any bad reviews might be as helpful as good reviews and hence get as many up-votes as a good review would have - in this I doubt. (Who would want to test something that was judged bad to confirm the review?) Also I feel like restaurants and hotels that are reviewed poorly/badly might just end their cooperation with you or your token. So you yourself would have a much higher interest in good reviews. Or am I wrong? At least this is what current review websites are...
Finally I feel like the community status (BWST) is similar to "followers" on other sites like (e. g.) instagram. Companies (here: hotels and restaurants) would pay good money to approach these "influencers" with a high status. This would undermine your idea of democracy.
How you plan to counter this?
Dont missunderstand me I like the idea. Don't just become a conventional "major review website" yourself - you can pull it off. Good luck.
And of course my last question am I in for the 750 BWOM for a quality contribution? I filled the form for the steemit quality post, as there is no one for bitcointalkTastes are different - one is going to judge a restaurant good, the other may not. It is the avarage that matters. As well as the quality of the reviews.
We dont have any cooperation with any restaurants and hotels. We are a platform on which people are reviewing restaurants and hotels. The only connection between BWOMM and the vendors is if they accept our BWD voucher or not.
We are not interested in positive or negative reviews. BWOMM is a neutral platform. Our aim is to get the most qualitative reviews and to make fake reviews non impacting our rankings and therefore our user.
Please have a look to our whitepaper (
