Google deletes thousands of negative Robinhood app reviews
NY Post ^ | January 29, 2021 | Noah Manskar

Google appeared to remove nearly 100,000 negative reviews for the Robinhood app after outraged investors bombarded the stock-trading startup with complaints.

Amateur traders urged each other online to leave negative reviews for the app in the Google Play Store after Robinhood froze trading on shares of GameStop and other stocks whose prices have exploded this week.

The campaign appeared to work — Robinhood’s Android app had a one-star rating based on nearly 275,000 reviews on Thursday, according to a screenshot captured by 9to5Google.

But that number had fallen to just over 176,000 by midday Friday as Google apparently purged the bad reviews, bringing Robinhood’s rating back up to roughly four stars.

Thousands? like 1,200 or 2,000?

Not tens of thousands?

Oh a full 100,000.

Nice headline...

Amateur traders. Isn’t that their customer base that should be rating them? Or only hedge fund managers are allowed to rate them?

They would shut us down. Watch what happens when Parlor comes back online. I’ll be the first to re-sign up, but I fear they will be shut down again. It is fraud (election fraud, China virus, Dr. Fauci, Hunter Biden, a pervert president, Governor Cuomo, on & on) ...
