Looks like they deleted stars from each level of the scale (though a considerably higher percentage of one-star ratings were deleted).
They increased the 5 star ratings and decreased everything below 3 stars

I suspect they just eliminated all of the recent ratings after the distribution changed dramatically. That would probably be the fairest way to do it.

So you're for REQUIRING a company to keep all reviews?

Amazon's user review system is worthless

quote:Those are just a few of his snippets from the thread. Apparently the legitimacy and purpose of the review is only important in certain situations. It's deceptive and obviously fake if he doesn't like it, but it's also deception and censorship if he likes the reviews even if they are faked.
The #1 review for years was about 6 paragraphs long and loaded with what appeared to be legitimate info and has now been completely removed by amazon.
All lies.
Eta wake up people! You've been deceived!

The fact Google has appointed someone to sit and delete reviews for an app is amazing.

I'm glad you're here whining because they're running their company as they see fit.
You should start another thread to bitch about Amazon getting rid of bullshite reviews, too.

And I don't understand why you can so much, but I really don't understand why you can't see why Google would do this. They have a vested interest in the validity of these ratings. Just like Netflix and Amazon have tried to address their ratings systems too. Otherwise, they wouldn't have one in the first place.

I switched over to Bing, don't know if they are any better but clearly Google is no longer trustworthy.

It's not valid to key other users know CNN is a dumpster fire?
