Fakespot has always felt inaccurate to me. Once every 6 months or so I gave it a go to see if any of the updates have improved it but it never felt like it did to me.
Furthermore, I don't see the point in Fakespot since Amazon bends over backwards to accept returns for any reason.
Why go through that hassle if you can avoid it in the first place?
I've also wondered about Fakespot's accuracy. I just viewed it as one tool when doing online shopping. I'd prefer not to order crap in the first place than try to return something later.
