RE: Introducing Explorio, the World's First Decentralized Travel Reviews Platform
Woahhh this sounds like an amazing project! Would Explorio also be able to tackle the problem with fake reviews on these kinds of review platforms?
Not sure if you saw that video where some guy from Vice managed to get his "restaurant" to number 1 in London without even having a restaurant. Which really brings people to question the validity of these review websites (as much as I would love to trust them as it would just be so useful!)
Either way, Exploria sounds like it's gonna shake some things up - when can we expect to start contributing and getting involved?!
Hey buttpacker, thanks for your message! The problem you mentioned is widespread. Big corporations sitting on money simply buy their reviews. With Explorio however we will change things.
Submitted content is peer-reviewed to verify reliability and published on the platform. The content undergoes the process of peer review and, once approved by other travelers, is stored on the blockchain and subsequently rewarded by tokens.
Peer reviewers are chosen by prioritizing users who have reviewed places in close
proximity, thus maximizing the chances that they are able to accurately assess
content quality and reliability.
Users are incentivized to engage in peer review through Explorio Honor token (XPLH)
rewards, which are given out based on whether an individual reviewer’s decision
matches the majority’s decision (see section 5.1.: Explorio Honor tokens). This
helps ensure that all our content is unique, reliable, and does not infringe existing
copyrights.
