The first two examples of discounts you cited are very different from just paying to directly inflate your ratings.

- freehunter 9y agoI'm trying to show a progression from "discounts" to "more discounts" to "we'll give it to you free just to get more 'sales'" That's why I called it a natural conclusion. The only difference between giving someone a coupon to entice them to buy something from you and buying it yourself is how much money you're losing in the short term. It's on the same spectrum, just at different ends.
- jakobegger 9y agoNo, this is not a spectrum. Offering a discount or giving copies away is marketing. Buying copies yourself and pretending someone else did is fraud.
