Sucks, these were both somewhat useful services (pocket particularly)
What a terrible day to hear about Fakespot for the first time :(
Mozilla should make Fakepost source code open-source so that people (with right hardware) can self-host it.
Seriously. If they’re not even interested in making money off it anymore then why not?
If it’s open source how easy will it be for others then to game the system?
There are open source tools for analyzing if github stars are fake, and they work reliably.
The kind of people that fake reviews/stars target are not the kind of people that are going to be verifying things.
As long as Amazon doesn’t crack down, there isn’t really a need to game the system.
I kind of liked visiting https://getpocket.com/explore just to read some of the stories they had posted there, but oh well.
Is Mozilla on its last legs?
EDIT: a more highbrow alternative to the pocket explore articles is Arts & Letters Daily.
