No.
Seems like an easy response. Fake reviews are fraud and against the TOC. But then again you could fake reviews for a competitor and tank their rating.
Goodhart's law is a pain.
I opened a google account and wrote two genuine reviews. Both were rejected automatically. I pressed a button to let them check again, they were again rejected.
I deleted my account again and remembered why I deleted my first account a few years ago. Google sucks, they can't controll their own algorythms, they are a faceless mega corp that harvests data like crazy. Everyones life would be better, if google vanished from the face of earth right now.
lol .... it's very easy to identify the fake reviews when you were the one that allowed them in the first place
