I’m here for it, the problem is clear, how can I trust a reviewer? How do I know they are really qualified to have an opinion here? Have they eaten a lot of Indian food or did they grow up on chicken nuggets and tried something spicy for the first time in their life and that’s why they left a bad review?

I’m not sure if reputation can be solved with tech. It is deeply social and very hard to create a system that doesn’t suffer from the first order effects you list here. (The next meta game of reviewing the reviewers).

It’s like the ultimate solve for online everything though (partially why I worry it is not achievable / an endless rabbit hole).

The govt relays reputation (imperfectly) through licensing. Uber took that system and brought a market place with centralized but crowd sourced reputation provided by them to great effect. If you can design an open system that provides generalizable reputation for any service, you unlock a truly open online marketplace for any service.

All that being said, excited to see what you come up with!
