I like this idea. I'm sick of wading through thousands of products with fake reviews when shopping for something outside my field of expertise. Amazon's own recommendation ("Amazon's choice", iirc) is just algorithmic bullshit and the ratings cannot be trusted.

Give me a shop that gives me a couple of hand-selected products for any given category and makes absolutely sure that I do not get counterfeit products. Couple that with great and personal service and I'm happy to pay a premium over Amazon.

Orthogonally, I hate the fact that non-fake reviews generate value for the walled-garden that is Amazon. Reviews should be in a neutral platform that can be integrated in various stores and info is interchangeable... But that doesn't solve the fake reviews problem.
