If anyone has a TrustPilot account, and a few minutes to spare, could I ask that you leave a review there for RHP? Do your worst! (Well, be nice if possible 😉 ). Thanks in advance.
RedHotPawn's TrustPilot
dear russ,
i realize that the website trustpilot.com is not yours to maintain
BUT
the only review i can see for rhp/dailychess is a five star yahoo!
which is weird because the site also reports that the average user experience is 3.7 star review
3.7 is not the average of 5
i decline to trust the trustpilot
-Removed-From a web crawlers perspective (e.g. Google), when assessing what to index, a curated list of rated sites (so provably not spam) which humans have reviewed is a good starting point to add weight to an index. (All speculation by me.)
Back in the day when the web's size and form was more manageable, directories used to exist which would serve this purpose.
@rookie54 saidThis mystery is solved - they initially use a "Bayesian average"
3.7 is not the average of 5
We use a Bayesian average in the calculation, to make sure that a business with fewer reviews starts off with a balanced TrustScore. This means that we automatically include the value of 7 reviews worth 3.5 stars each in all TrustScore calculations.
@Russ saidi read that when i was perusing the website

the older the review, the less weight it carries towards the average
this sort of thingie is beyond, above, and superior to my thought process
i bow to the gods of statistics
actually, sort of a half bow
i still don't trust easily

@Russ saidGoogle is becoming unusable, tried to turn the AI feature off... Apparently that's not possible. The difference is search results now from even 10 years ago is staggering. Duckduckgo is a decent one but again not as good as they used to be. Think I originally found rhp with a Google (or other search engine), probably just shows chess.com now.
Thanks again to those who posted a review. Good for casual TrustPilot browsers to read, and in addition I believe these sites might be quite important in future as search engines clearly will struggle in the age of mass AI content.
@A-Unique-Nickname saidThe degree to which chess dot com dominates search engine results is absolutely suffocating. Its virtually impossible to challenge them.

Hey, but their TrustPilot score isn't so great compared to that new shiny RHP rating! 😉
