One bot’s review is referring to Reddit as Tripomate. Lol oh reddit…
Lol that’s hilarious!
Lol thats gold.
We should report them as fake. Not sure how many reports it takes to get someone to look at it but it might be worth a shot.
Imagine if Reddit, after cutting off so many 3rd party apps got their own app banned. Even if only temporarily.
Delicious
Delicious
I just came to that
I wouldn’t be surprised, the reddit “leadership” has shown it’s either their way or the highway even if their way leads to a cliff.
People must be doing that, I scrolled for a bit and didn’t see a single 5 star review. The best part is most reviews call out exactly the same problems as my 1 star review from 2018. Very few even seem to mention the API or 3rd party apps. What have they been doing for 5 years?
Pushing awards and micro transactions for Snoos and not making a functional app with sleek and in line advertising placement
I reported some of the ones I saw on the App Store but I doubt it will do much good.
deleted by creator
I’ve been reporting the ones I see on the Apple App Store
Anything to boost that IPO huh
Done my part too, hope they get review bombed 💣
They also blocked rating the app on mobile, I had to go online and rate it via google’s site, and im not sure it actually stuck.
My negative reviews of any app are usually deleted, even if I take the time to write out a lot.
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 ;-)
I did exactly the same.
Went in with a “fuck spez” attitude and turns out I’d already had a fuck spez moment when I picked up sync after finding the Reddit app garbage.
I never managed to get it to load anything on my 380mbps internet connection. Every 3rd party app (and the website) loaded fine.
I have about a similar level of loading inconsistency between these new Lemmy apps, and the one Reddit app made by the actual company. And the Lemmy browsing experience is already way better.
That was exactly what I did too
“Oh…I already gave it 1 star…good”
Past-self high-five.
(my first lemmy comment let’s gooo)
Would be weird if they didn’t at least try to do this
Yeah, all big companies do this, to my understanding
How do we know the reviews are bought? They could just be from trolls.
Wow, they’re really spezzing it up!
They just continue to validate my decision to walk away

Right?
My old 5 star review became 1 star this morning. And like this will remain. Spez can buy the whole Chinese review-farm black market, the end is the end, the corpse is now smelling and will smell until it’s buried.

Your comment got posted a bunch of times. I didn’t expect lemmy to glitch like reddit lol
Guessing they hit the post button a bunch of times because some of the UI controls really aren’t visually responsive on many of the Lemmy instances.
Happened to me a few times
Sorry to all, I got gateway timeout a bunch of times yesterday with this post, now I see multiple same posts, will clean them, sorry again for the issue
Funny story I was gonna go make a 1 star review in response to this and found out I already submitted one over a year ago!
So I guess instead I’ll go and mark only 1 star reviews as helpful (maybe also a few 5 star reviews in cyrillic script, just for fun.)
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.

Why am I seeing this response 6 times? This seems to be happening more often lately.
I posted on another thread earlier and got an error, so pressed submit again and found it was double posted. Also, I wasn’t able to delete my duplicate comment. I’m not sure if it was an issue with the server or with the Memmy app, which I’ve started using today.
