βI tricked TripAdvisor to make my shed its top restaurantβ
A writer has told ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ 5 live how he tricked TripAdvisor into making his shed the number one restaurant in London.
Speaking to Emma Barnett, Oobah Butler explained how he created a fake restaurant in his garden using photographs of food made up of bleach and shaving foam.
A spokesman for TripAdvisor, which has since deleted the listing, said: βGenerally, the only people who create fake restaurant listings are journalists in misguided attempts to test us. As there is no incentive for anyone in the real world to create a fake restaurant.β
For more information on Oobah Butlerβs experiment, see his article on Vice.com (see related links, below).
