One guy from my college class played this sh*t on his extension. He got 1000 users with 89 reviews! Tho this 1000 -> 89 conversion rate seems too fake to put faith on. And his extension does a terrible job. He still wined out his competitors on Product Hunt daily race. I think this is disgusting as this created an unfair competition over other teams who dedicated themselves on performance of their products nights after nights. A big blasphemy to indie development
I am sorry to say I am toyib I am the the director of our association so to me honest I was surprised when my members brought out this blog and I go through it and found out that you thought the promoter has done a fake reviews for your extension but not to quote you wrong I will like to tell you how I got to know about this extension I got a notification from my email noticing it a campaign forward to me and I go through it and noticed me and my team are in need of something similar to your extension and I organized a meeting and told them to go through the extension for the make use of it and it works perfectly well that's when we contacted the promoter that we rilly appreciate the developer of this extension and are ready in need of something similar before getting his campaign and he told us to drop a feedback of haw I fill using it. Not on till I forward this blog to the promoter and I and my team also lost interest in using your extension
It's a little counter-intuitive, but it has never failed me: to circumvent fake reviews problem, I choose an extension with a 3.5 rating over a similar extension with a 5 rating every time.
I first saw your GitHub repo, then opened the chrome webstore page and saw these reviews, got totally confused about what are you upto, you even mentioned it in the Readme and that made me wonder can't you see they are fake, and then I saw this post XD...
This is a genuine issue and Google should do something about it. Thanks for doing this experiment and showing the dark sides of Chrome extensions.
This is a very interesting concept and I was surprised about how many emails you got within a day or so, I now know that I should take all reviews with a grain of salt just in case.
