What does "manipulation" mean here, and why is it bad? What does "organized" mean here? I personally left a 1-star review detailing why I think the app deserves it before I heard anything about the review bombing. If a significant portion of it is "organized", why is that bad? You're making many large assumptions, not to mention framing them antagonistically ("not rocket science").
- sangnoir 6y agoThis is brigading - people were not reviewing the app (which the app rating is supposed to measure), but retaliating against a (valid) slight from Robinhood. Seen in that light, the recent mass voting is noise.
- sthnblllII 6y agoWhats the difference between the app and the service the app provides from the perspective of a user of the app?
- sangnoir 6y agoThere are multiple ways to access the Robinhood service. The service itself may be great (e.g. via website), but the app terrible (crashes, bad UI, slow, etc).
- gmanley 6y agoIn this case their "slight" directly affected the functionality of the App: I was unable to buy or even view certain stocks. To me that is clearly App functionality that should be subject to user review and rating. Mass shifts in public opinion due to actual changes in how the App behaves is not brigading nor retaliation and should not be protected against.
