I remember giving a three-star review once, to a british company, warranted with constructive criticism (my item arrived as described and in good condition, but they took weeks to dispatch it despite it being in stock and then another month for it to be delivered within the same country of origin), the company got in touch with me saying "change your review to a 4 or 5 star and we will let you have the item for free plus give you £5". Nah fuck off, I'm not for sale. I haven't trusted any reviews since.
Oh, but we need to accelerate the stupidity.
Pretty dumb of these companies to incentivize bad reviews. But alas, intelligence and foresight are all but dead in this world.
