Shoutout to review filters that finally bury fake 5-star posts

I spent 6 months comparing Yelp and Google Maps for my local landscaping business, same exact service offered on both. Google kept showing me these glowing 5-star reviews from accounts with one total review, all posted within 3 days. Yelp flagged those as suspicious and moved them to the filtered section, which let me actually see real feedback from repeat customers. That one difference changed which platform I trust now, and I've stopped posting on the other entirely. Anyone else notice a platform that does a better job weeding out obvious spam?

Nah, I've seen Yelp hide legit reviews just cause the customer isn't a frequent poster, so I trust Google more.
