Why a creator would want to be reviewed
Asking a creator to accept public reviews is asking them to accept public criticism. It deserves a real argument rather than a marketing one, so here is both sides.
The case for
- Trust converts. A subscriber deciding between two accounts with no information defaults to the cheaper one. With evidence of delivery, they can choose on quality — which is the only way a creator who actually delivers can charge more than one who does not.
- Criticism you can answer beats criticism you cannot see. Complaints already exist, on Reddit and in private. There, you have no reply. Here, your reply sits directly under the review at the same weight.
- A few negative reviews make the positive ones credible. A profile with fifty reviews and no criticism reads as bought. Buyers know this.
- It is a search surface for your name. Your profile page is a page you control, ranking for your own handle, competing with pages you do not control.
The case against, stated honestly
- You cannot delete an accurate negative review. Not by asking, and not by paying. That is the whole point, and it is a real cost to you.
- A bad month becomes durable. A delivery slip that would have been forgotten can stay visible.
- Competitors and bad actors will try to abuse it. We moderate, evidence-check and ban for it — but no system catches everything immediately.
- It is more surface area. Any public presence is something to manage.
What we guarantee in exchange
- Reviews are about the service — delivery, communication, value. Anything about your body, appearance, identity or private life is removed and gets the account banned.
- Handles only. Real names, locations or contact details are removed on sight and treated as a serious violation.
- A free public right of reply on every review, at the same visual weight.
- Factual disputes put the burden of proof on the reviewer. If they cannot evidence the claim, it comes down.
- Every moderation decision is published in an append-only log. We cannot quietly rewrite what we did.
- Reviews only exist on your profile if you explicitly consent, and you can withdraw — which removes the whole profile, including the reviews that favour you.
What we cannot guarantee
We cannot promise your reviews will be good. We cannot promise a review that is unfair but not provably false will be removed — "unfair" is not one of our removal grounds, because a platform that removes on that basis is a platform where ratings mean nothing.
We cannot promise moderation is instant. It is done by a person, and a person is not always at a desk.
The practical answer for most creators
If your account delivers what it promises, public review is an advantage, because most of your competition cannot survive the same scrutiny.
If it does not, this platform will make that visible. That is working as intended, and it is the only reason the good reviews are worth having.
Frequently asked
- Can I try it and turn it off?
- You can withdraw at any time. Be clear about what that does: it removes your entire profile including favourable reviews and your own replies. It is not a way to remove a bad review while keeping the good ones — that mechanism does not exist here, deliberately.
- What if someone posts something untrue?
- Flag it and tell us what actually happened. We ask the reviewer for evidence. If they cannot produce it, the claim does not stand and the review is removed as unproven. Your own message thread is usually decisive.
- Do I have to pay for anything?
- No. Listing, claiming, replying and flagging are free and always will be. Charging for any of them would compromise the thing that makes the ratings worth reading.
- Will you list me without asking?
- A directory profile with your public facts may already exist — you can have it removed within 48 hours at any time. Reviews are different: they are only ever opened on a profile you have claimed and given explicit consent for.

Asking for reviews is fine. Asking only the happy ones, or offering anything in exchange, is an unfair commercial practice. The line, and templates that stay on the right side of it.
