I always assume these types of reviews are jokes, because the alternative, that they're serious, is sort of insulting to me as a member of the same species as the person who wrote it.
I don't hate joke reviews, but I don't like when the overall rating itself is affected by the joke ratings.
I post a lot of jokey, satirical, and unhinged reviews on google maps. One time I wrote an entire rap song about a taco bell and left that as a review.
Regardless of the content of the review text, I'm giving places 5 stars - unless they're actually bad and deserve less.
I do agree, its one thing to make a joke, but when that joke has capacity to evolve into something serious - then it is a problem.
Beach near me.
Went there and had a fight with Cindy she said she was leaving fucking bitch
One star
Just to clarify - Cindy's a local cougar
She has some amazing DD-cups btw
Funniest nature review I ever saw was:
5 Star waterfall - "never been"
"Looks good on the photos"
One of Ryan George's videos explained one reason these reviews exist. Google used to have a pretty robust Local Guide designation for reviewers who were actively reviewing locations. They game-ified reviews and naturally some people wanted a high score. So, they would review things like parking lots and other places that are usually not 'review-able'.
I still get notifications that say "your reviews are popular! Over 1200 people have viewed them. Can you fill in details about [some place I stopped in the parking lot to check the map]?”
Subtle hint of how much data they're collecting.
I mean the comment is public and that your were at some location and searched stuff about it via Google is something they should know. Ideally they would not collect that too, but out of all the things they do this is more superficial and easily explained as a service. The real issue is ALL the invisible stuff they collect about you, sites you visit, what you do/look at there, ... and then also use and sell that and not in any way to make things better for the user too.
Doesn't explain them leaving a nonsensical review like the inevitable march of time existing
They would have a review like "nice trees"
I believe they had word count and photo/video buffs to the score of each review. Not saying that's the case here, but the actual content of the review textbox didnt impact the final score in this Local Guides program.
Imagine directing the same negative energy towards the people who litter in nature (or anywhere else for that matter).
The first one is legit funny. 😂 Who the hell turned off the lights?
Someone forgot to pack a flashlight!
That's some victim-blaming bullshit.
If they ran the place better, guests wouldn't have to pack a flashlight!
why are there reviews for nature to begin with?
there shouldn't be reviews for anything other than consumer products that cost $$$. experience is subjective. one person's worst movie or worst restaurant is another person's favorite.
Because someone who was there can tell others how it was and upload pictures. How is that a question?
I leave reviews like this for my favourite places, hoping it encourages tourists to go elsewhere
It's more effective though to talk about dangerous wildlife or sketchy locals
I should start doing this
Are they real morons or fantastic trolls?
Definitely trolls.
Definitely trolling.
A big chunk of the people on this platform have no concept of satire.
Last time I saw this I concluded it's locals leaving 1 Star reviews to lessen tourists visiting these spots.

I once went on a short hike in the summer, and even though it was hot and sunny outside my body kept getting wet? My hand got slippery which made my cane hard to hold, and I smelled bad after that! Don’t hike here, they fuck with you!
Oh, that's genius.
