At the core Bon Vivant is community of like-minded people sharing their stories, experiences, and knowledge. An essential element of building that community is a feeling of trust.
Reviews are untrustworthy because most of the time you know very little about the person writing that review. Who are the otherwise anonymous people writing those reviews? What are they like? Do they have any real knowledge of the things they are writing about? Are those people, your kind of people? Do they like the same kinds of things you do?
All valid questions, some of which we try to answer for you here. Take a minute, get to a know a little about the people who are writing these stories, and find out.
