This reminds to give reddit 1 star on Playstore.
Same here
One bot's review is referring to Reddit as Tripomate. Lol oh reddit...
Currently 2.4/5.0 on the Play Store. Wasn't that long ago when it was around 4.0. Their rating has taken a beating over the last few weeks.
Before the API pricing change, the Reddit app could be considered an internal hobby project made by a handful of employees on their spare time.
Now that this one is mandatory, it can be rated for what it is.
I gave it a 1 star review. I'm doing my part o7
Just left mine. Fuck u/spez
They're also definitely doing some sort of keyword manipulation, cause the official Reddit App is fairly high in the result list when searching for Lemmy.
On another note: hi, I just came here today after RIF stopped working 👋
Welcome!
I'm here full time too since I got connect.
Ironic that the FTC is going to likely make these illegal soon. Anyone want to save screenshots?
Just leave my first 1 star to reddit app
After seeing this, I thought I'd go over to the Play Store to leave a 1 star review. Then discovered I had already left a 1 star review (complaining about their shitty interface) a few months ago, which I'd totally forgotten about ;-)
No. It’s the new bot users rating their new favorite app.
just left a 1 star review, because it honestly deserves it
I feel like I must be crazy but these reviews do not read like 5 star reviews. Seems super suspect.
You’re right. One specifically mentions ‘would rate this 0 if I could’ so in lieu of that option, they selected a…5?
Have they gone through and scraped the text from a bunch of real reviews and are reposting them with 5 star ratings to make them look organic?
Can't say I'm even remotely surprised. It's unfortunate that even user reviews have become all but useless on most platforms due to corpo bullshit like this.
good things corporations are people too so their votes they paid for count right?
I don't really understand what this has to do with lobbying, but sure.
