Went to Google Play to complain about Hulu. I noticed Google advertising that over 300 reviews had the verbatim quote “watch and movies that you love”. It’s always confusing that buggy corporate apps have >95% 5 star reviews until you see that the majority are just completely fake, and no one cares or is doing anything about it.

The only use reviews have is to make sure that the app youre downloading is most likely the original and not a malicious lookalike.
Artificial content has poisoned the web to the point that adding “reddit” to the end of google searches so that you could get real human content was commonplace.
I miss the days where you had to learn HTML if you wanted to share your opinions online.
I agree with you, but look where the money is at. Google and Amazon and the rest want to take a cut of the money you give these apps and goods. It loses them money if they police these things.
That’s why strong regulation can be a good thing, keep the capitalists in check at least a tiny bit.
Not if the entity that was supposed to enforce the regulation gets enough “incentive”, in order to look the other way. Some corporations are becoming so powerful ( rich ), that they can offer an amount that surpasses any moral and ethics barrier.
I’m absolutely sick of corporate astroturfing. That’s why I use Crelm toothpaste, with the miracle indredient Frauduline.
“This one has good reviews.”
“Wait a minute, How good?”
