Perhaps you have a mate who started a restaurant or bar, and you just happened to pop a five-star review on their Facebook page.
Maybe you’ve even gone as far as to review that restaurant on TripAdvisor, in the hopes of leading tourists to its doors.
That doesn’t make you a bad person, but you are playing in the minor leagues.
Back in December we told you a little about Oobah Butler, who managed to turn his garden shed into the number one ranked restaurant in London on TripAdvisor, and it really is an instant classic.
VICE weren’t done, though, because together with Oobah they made the entire shebang into a short doccie. It took him eight months to pull off the swindle, but it was time well spent.
