How are they fake reviews? The company has done something deeply unacceptable to its user base - why aren’t they entitled to update their reviews?

  Maybe I'm underestimating both how active users are at reviewing apps and how many people use Robinhood, but I doubt there are over 100k people who updated their reviews because of yesterday. Personally I'd be shocked if the app had 100k reviews total last week. edit unless they offered basically real money to review the app, I haven't used it.

    There were definitely at least 100,000 reviews submitted yesterday, based on my observation. However, there are huge numbers of people involved with this story - millions on the wsb subreddit alone. Bear in mind that most people don't submit reviews, but being angry at something is much more likely to cause someone to do so.

    I don’t know how many users they have either, but re: whether it 100k reviews total last week. Normally I think you could expect only a few percent of your users to leave reviews. If you then piss off your whole user base collectively with actions that are unfair to them, then it is not a valid argument to say that because there are more reviews that the reviews cannot be real. I am not saying that all of these 100k reviews are real. But I am saying that how many or few reviews they had before does not count because until you do something really bad or something extremely good 90-99% of users are not going to leave a review.
