  Well, those problems happen now, so it's not strictly worse than what we have now, but those are good points. For the first one, it would have to be tied into the payment system somehow so the money would have to change hands. It doesn't totally solve the problem, but it certainly adds a cost, especially if the payment system requires unique customers. Heck, Google could make money like this by only allowing reviews for purchases via Google Pay. For the second one, I'm not really sure, but if they bribe everyone with the same discount, it's not really a bribe anymore, it's just the new price. And if they don't offer everyone the bribe, then they will quickly get bad reviews.

  Because all reviews are tied to an active Google account which is pseudo-tied to an IRL identity. I don't really care about the second point because it doesn't scale, people will do it anyway, and you can cozy right up to the line of literally paying for a good review in a million different "above board" ways.
