Real reviews from Reddit & YouTube when shopping online

The 5-star system is broken. Honestly is a Chrome extension that finds and verifies real product opinions from Reddit, TikTok, YouTube & Instagram directly on product pages. No ads, sponsorships, nor AI. Just reviews you can trust.
Great idea! But now I have a problem - I won’t be able to choose a product at all because I always focus only on the negative reviews, haha. Seriously, though, this is a super useful app for me. The main thing, in my opinion, is to add protection against deliberate campaigns to damage a brand’s reputation through fake negative reviews.

@allurepixel Absolutely! This is actually such a big issue. We've been speaking to brands and figuring out how our data and analysis can help them too.
This is literally automating my own shopping workflow — I always add 'reddit' to every product search because Amazon reviews are 80% fake at this point. Smart move keeping it non-AI. How do you handle products with no Reddit/YouTube mentions? And is there any deduplication for reviews from the same user across platforms?
Honestly
@ilya_lee Exactly! Fun fact, Kalvin and I ran into this problem while testing another startup idea (it was an AI voice agent to help you shop) and the first thing we noticed with every user test was someone copying the product name then going to reddit, youtube or TikTok.
Right now for the products with no reviews our research is quite limited. One of the ways we can try to fix this is by pulling reviews for the actual brand. What do you think about this? How would you go about doing review research for a product without any reddit/youtube content?
How do you handle products that have very few mentions across Reddit and YouTube? Do you fall back to other sources or just show what's available? Congrats on shipping!
Honestly
@borrellr_ Thanks! For products that don't have social proof we're thinking of focusing on the brand as a whole rather than the specific product. That way you can tell if this is a trusted brand and by who. What do you think, how do you usually handle researching products that don't have any social proof?
Congrats on the launch guys :) Love the idea!!

This hits a real pain point.
Ratings are broken, people already dig through Reddit and YouTube before buying. Bringing that context directly into the page is smart.
If you can keep it clean from spam and manipulation, this becomes a must-have.
