This is interesting in that it provokes the question of what an app's rating "means". Clearly, if you were getting the app because you expected to be able to trade GME and you can't, then this is a good signal not to get the app. But not all "protest votes" of this sort may be equally good signals.

- dpedu 6y agoIs the algorithm that does or doesn't promote apps on the app store able to differentiate between "protest votes" and "real" votes?
- peheje 6y agoAgree. I think the answer is it means whatever Google wants it to mean for this particular app.
