This enables a good comparison of how this works. "The first review can potentially influence the entire development of customer ratings," says UF marketing professor Woochoel Shin. According to the study published in "Marketing Science", the first evaluation can influence both the number of further customer reviews and their tone over a period of three full years. The former is related to the fact that a bad first rating leads to fewer purchases, i.e. the product has fewer chances of further reviews.

Media Platforms’ Content Provision Strategies and Sources of Profits
Marketing ScienceWilfred Amaldoss, et al.
2021-02-24
Some media platforms earn their profits from both consumers and advertisers (e.g., Spotify, Hulu), whereas others earn their profits from either advertisers only (e.g., Jango, Tubi) or consumers only (e.g., Tidal, Netflix). Thus, media platforms adopt divergent strategies depending on how they allocate the limited bandwidth between content and advertising.
The Fateful First Consumer Review
Marketing ScienceSungsik Park, et al.

This paper uncovers the striking power of a product’s first consumer review. Our analytical model suggests that two key metrics of online consumer reviews, valence and volume, are not independent, but instead evolve interdependently. This interdependence forms a mechanism to transfer a (dis)advantage from a product’s first review to both a long-lasting (dis)advantage in future word-of-mouth (WOM) valence and an increasing (dis)advantage in future WOM volume.
