What the fuck even are those reviews? They make no sense. I'd say it's AI but even AI could write better than that.

MODERATORS
I strongly suspect they don't care about coherency. They care about spending just enough compute on anything that can avoid tripping a spam filter and getting the review deleted. As long as the review is kept and counts towards the score, that's a win from their perspective.
I’d say it’s AI but even AI could write better than that.
Reddit uses AI for everything, they're all-in on it. Even moderation at the admin level is AI. They outsource AEO (Anti-Evil Operations) and speaking as a mod of several million+ user communities the AI is absolute garbage.
They're so stupid, I assume they were hand written by Spez himself.
there is a whole industry offering those type of services, you'd be surprised
I saw this too and thought the same thing. Unfortunately it tracks with how Reddit has been handling this whole situation.
Right now I left a final 5 star rating for Apollo and 1 star for Reddit 😄
I woudn't doubt there buying them, as there trying to get ppl to use that horrible add that kills your battery, and the ads everywhere.
They're misrepresenting the real state of the platform to mislead potential investors about the product they want to sell in the near future. This can only end in tears. People will lose money and reddit team exposed themselves to years of ugly litigation.
I was going to mention this. I was reading reviews and even the ones that make sense are complaining about something yet the score was 5 stars. I think something is broke or this is AI.
There's over 2M reviews, the current ones are not going to move the needle.
Is that a common way to spot paid-for reviews?
