I'm a fellow board gaming zealot and now I'm wondering which channel you're talking about

I think if you search for youtube + (sound of the animal that gave the name to python's "typing"...if it walks like a...) a channelname starting with said sound and ending in "ope" should come up as one of the top channels along with many videos about a certain bag building game named after a city. Sorry for being so cryptic :D

Gotcha. It was the same channel I was thinking of. Wasn't aware of the typing association

Michelin only does positive reviews. If you trust the source of your information because they've been credible in the past, the ecosystem of reviewers matters less than an individual's relationship with a specific publication (or influencer, etc.) On an individual reviewer basis, it's all about trust. Drive by consumption does not do well in this model.

Michelin is almost unique. If a restaurant is not reviewed, a certain class of people do not go there. This is a rather different situation. As to ``only positive reviews'': restaurants have been known to shutter when they lose a star.

Sure but that's pretty unsustainable if your entire marketing spend is around getting a michelin star... i think if you lose a star and you go out of business it means you're probably not as good at marketing / product + market fit as most of the local coffee shops etc.
