Sad to see Fakespot shutdown after purchase. I rely on Fakespot for a sort of ground-truth when navigating Amazon. When faced with 20 similar items, all having thousands of faked review scores, it was helpful to get the A-F rating. While these tools didn't really need to live in the browser, by purchasing and then killing them, they've done the web a disservice.

"Fakespot's analysis of online shopping reviews didn't fit a model we could sustain"

I feel like you figure that out before you purchase the largest tool for analyzing and detecting fake product reviews.

Yes, losing Fakespot is brutal! Will Mozilla consider open-sourcing it? Then someone who cares can pickup the torch.

This New "AdLand" Mozilla is way << worse than << Old Moz.

To Amazon's credit, at least now they do surface some junky items as"Frequently Returned", which I've found very useful to differentiate between and avoid the worst trash clones.

You know how it goes, embrace, extend, extinguish isn't just for MS anymore. I'm in your shoes here, Fakespot is really useful on Amazon when it warns you about a seller having problems for example.
