How do I know that you're not a shill for fakespot?
How does the person reading this comment know I'm not a fakespot competitor?
It's a tricky business, isn't it?
Good point. But, for pedantry's sake, your analogy is backwards. The person you're replying to is questioning the accuracy of Fakespot, which would make them a competitor. A shill would be endorsing the service, or placing doubt on the critical comment, as you have done.
You're totally right. I have no idea how I got that backwards!

Indeed. How do we know some fake-review-review site isn't corrupted and taking money to assassinate competitors?
There should be a site that reviews and rates sites that review and rate reviews, so we could finally know which reviews reviews site to go to to find out which reviews are authentic.

But then we'd need another site that reviews and rates sites that review and rate sites that review and rate reviews.
Needless to say, I wasn't impressed with their heuristics.
