There is a debate to be had about how far this is morally acceptable. If youβre trying to promote your nonprofit and ask friends to ask their friends to look at it Iβd say thats fine.
But asking bluntly for fake reviews is not ok imo. Iβd report this person immediately. Iβd rather make a nice post on every social media platform that fits my topic and plainly ask folks for feedback. This just seems lazy and uninspired.
imo it's fine if its something like sub for sub on youtube, or follow for follow on twitch, where you're manipulating an algorithm, but with reviews it's misleading people and not okay.
I miss that game. Not much tickles the same creativity and playfulness that I've tried since then. I used to spend hours in the level creator doing dumb stuff.
I remember old YouTube having these kinds of exchanges. I would get DMs asking for a five star rating on a video they uploaded about some relevant topic in exchange for a likewise five star rating. I miss those days
