Reddit users are the last ones I'd turn to for reviews.

Google play has done the same thing, reduced visibility on user reviews and replaced it with their crappy paragraph-long summary (1) review of the thousands sent in by people.

I just can't..

- stop allowing hidden accounts to post political propaganda. so many of them in the name of privacy are just posting absolute propaganda about one country or the other

- make moderators fire-able (some of them indiscriminately ban people for no reason at all)

Surely the volunteer moderators would never take any consideration from any company ever for favorable moderation, right?

> Keeping Reddit real

> What appears in Reddit Reviews is shaped by Reddit communities, not paid placement. Businesses can’t pay to have products featured. Volunteer moderators enforce community rules, Reddit’s Safety team enforces sitewide rules, and users vote on posts they find valuable or that don’t add to the conversation. Together, these safeguards help limit spam and inauthentic activity.

Needs that XKCD of piled up blocks with volunteer mods and volunteer communities as the base.

Thank god reddit is well known to cater to and foster both of these groups with only positive things to be said about reddit leadership.

Will they address bot spam and astroturfing? If not then this is useless. Might as well ask ChatGPT directly what it thinks about a product.
