A reviews site embroiled in AI scandal is back from the dead

SMRTR summary

Gannett's consumer reviews site Reviewed, reportedly closed in November 2024, now operates under StackCommerce ownership. The new owner acquired the brand, IP, domain, and content in December, hiring five former employees. The site continues to publish new articles and update old ones with 2025 dates. However, concerns arise about product testing methods and transparency, as Reviewed's editorial promises remain despite its lab closure. The acquisition was not publicly announced, leaving readers unaware of the change.
