Those helpers are the reviewers which they call helpers but they are actually employed as reviewers and get paid as reviewers. These helpers are carefully handpicked and most are from regular users who’ve been proven to make good and quality reviews. For sure other company also have helpers.

I’ve read somewhere, outside this project and not related to Lina that positive reviews can be bought and negative ones can also be paid to be removed and still another says that you can also pay someone to make or post  a negative review on your competitors, how is it then with Lina? Can a certain advertiser pay or give an under the table payment (bribe) to someof the helpers to give them a favorable review?

It is everywhere, most of the reviews are fake, some are paid.
This LINA.REVIEW will hire their own helpers that will do the review for them with the certain product or business.
This platform will try to be transparent to make sure that every review is real and 100% true!
The team will give salary to those helpers that will make them do better. These people who will give the statement will be filtered through their CV and background.

What the project eliminates is the gap between the reviewers and the consumers. Now, consumers can communicate with helpers regarding their reviews, the helpers being identified with lina.

That depends on the product, but having someone from a branded company can be a good thing since that might be equal to expertise, and expertise would create high quality reviews.

But as of the moment the developer is not appearing themselves to accommodate all the questions of the community who passed by on this thread section. Unless if the ico reach the end of their campaign period then it maybe th e right time for them to respond  to all concerns. But for now all the concerns by many are depending on the whitepaper which has lina.review have.

It is possible if the advertisers will contact the helpers personally. Lina.review is a community based platform, as a prospective helper in the future, I myself would like to help would like to contribute in maintaining the integrity of Lina platform. Helpers are paid to make a review regardless whether it is positive or a negative one. If consumers will loose trust on Lina.review, Helpers in General will be affected since merchants will no longer choose Lina to review their products. For merchants we do hope that they will not resort to bribing Helpers. If they want they can invest their money in improving their products to be more competitive and to gain positive reviews. Good Luck to us.

 The usual option for the users in today's review system is just "Good" or "Not good". And we cannot see it as accurate since people have different criteria when it comes to rating. What's good about Lina.review, there are different criteria per subject to be reviewed. So the satisfaction or dissatisfaction of the user is specific and obtained fairly.

It came across my mind,too, about the bribery to the helpers.How can Lina prevent helpers from getting involve with such acts and stay committed to giving quality and reliable reviews?
