As an example of the sort of manipulation that appears to be going on, there's currently a one-star review with over 25,000 thumbs-ups pinned to the app store page with the text:
> Tiktok is a bad app. I have become nervous, never sleep on the video. Hi, how hard can I work together but never even 100 out of 50, I am installing Tiktok if you have the answer to this thing. Fix as soon as possible. We are not crazy who make videos. I have made 600 videos on this, but till today, not a single viral video has been made or their videos are also going viral. I'm not installing Tic Tok so I don't
This is clearly not a human-written review -- it jumps between ideas at random and breaks off in the middle of a sentence. It was almost certainly generated based on segments of other negative reviews.
Nor is the number of votes on the review normal. It's remarkable for a single recent review, even on a popular app like TikTok, to have even one thousand thumbs-ups. (Compare the reviews on the Facebook app, for instance.) 25,000 is absurd.
