    Sure, but I hope you can see the potential for knee-jerk reactions polluting otherwise relevant reviews, no?

    Given that the reviews are already low, I’m guessing a lot of users noticed that the coupons weren’t the best available before the news broke. That’s exactly what I would expect, and having a bunch of people regurgitating things like “Honey are hucksters screwing content creators” doesn’t say much about the quality of the service to end-users and is simply a reaction to the news without any further research (how can the average user validate those claims?).

      Oh I can absolutely see that. I guess my issue is that the whole review ecosystem is flawed I guess.

      As you (or someone else) said it’s a no win for TrustPilot. Either they stop review bombs or they allow them and people will be mad either way.
