We goof on this person, but in my experience this kind of shameless begging usually works to some degree.
„Fake it til you make it“
There is a debate to be had about how far this is morally acceptable. If you‘re trying to promote your nonprofit and ask friends to ask their friends to look at it I‘d say thats fine.
But asking bluntly for fake reviews is not ok imo. I‘d report this person immediately. I‘d rather make a nice post on every social media platform that fits my topic and plainly ask folks for feedback. This just seems lazy and uninspired.
But you do you.
'you do you' to harmful behavior?
Generally, yes. I'm not gonna infringe on someone else's actions as long as they dont endanger someone (themselves or other) because its not up to me (or anyone else) to be helicopter parents and "correct" everyone else.
As I said, I would report this person immediately.
imo it's fine if its something like sub for sub on youtube, or follow for follow on twitch, where you're manipulating an algorithm, but with reviews it's misleading people and not okay.
I can relate. Sub4sub is pretty inconsequential as well imo whereas someone might buy something based on a fakre review.

I'd go out of my way to give a negative review stating that they wanted to bribe me into giving a positive review.
If multiple people did that, you'd see that nobody trusts the reviews anymore.
Which is why it should be reported.
This reminds me of heart4heart levels in LittleBigPlanet.
I miss that game. Not much tickles the same creativity and playfulness that I've tried since then. I used to spend hours in the level creator doing dumb stuff.
seems legit tbh
Putting an app on the app store was one of my worst mistakes. I still get spam years after it getting delisted due to being abandoned.
Nah you learned a valuable lesson. Make a dummy email for the app(s).
I made a whole dummy domain. Still inconvenient when one shows up.
Sub for sub?
Sub for sub is a pretty standard social contract between upstarts. It looks beneath you because your livelihood isn't going up against goliaths.
I remember old YouTube having these kinds of exchanges. I would get DMs asking for a five star rating on a video they uploaded about some relevant topic in exchange for a likewise five star rating. I miss those days
no if it contains ads(don't let anyone extract money from chldren). up to your choice if it doesn't
