Ask HN: Do Public Profiles Encourage Fake Reviews

1 points by jwally ↗ HN
I'm probably missing something obvious, but based on the instructions in this article it seems like making all comments anonymous (and all profiles private) would go a long way to reducing the problem of paid-for-reviews:

Couple this with a couple of other speed-bumps (time delays, scraper repellant) , and it feels like it would be too big of a hassle to pay for reviews at scale.

That said, I'm not so dumb as to think that I've solved a puzzle that Amazon hasn't yet; so what am I missing?
