Did Google help reddit? A short time ago the score for the reddit app was down around 3.2 as everyone gave it 1 star for how bad it was and all the drama going on. I just opened the play store today and the app has a 4.2. Did Google delete or discount some of those reviews?
Most likely yes. It’s not uncommon for platforms to remove some bad ratings in situations like this. And I would even argue it’s legitimate. Not all of these reviews are genuine. I wouldn’t be surprised if some people created multiple accounts to leave multiple bad reviews. And if Google detects that, they are of course going to remove them.
They also do it with fake positive reviews. Not nearly as diligently but that’s because no one puts attention on them. While you can be sure Reddit was complaining about some reviews.
I didnt think of that. Thanks for enlightening us.
