Went to Google Play to complain about Hulu. I noticed Google advertising that over 300 reviews had the verbatim quote “watch and movies that you love”. It’s always confusing that buggy corporate apps have >95% 5 star reviews until you see that the majority are just completely fake, and no one cares or is doing anything about it.

    I agree with you, but look where the money is at. Google and Amazon and the rest want to take a cut of the money you give these apps and goods. It loses them money if they police these things.

    That’s why strong regulation can be a good thing, keep the capitalists in check at least a tiny bit.

      Not if the entity that was supposed to enforce the regulation gets enough “incentive”, in order to look the other way. Some corporations are becoming so powerful ( rich ), that they can offer an amount that surpasses any moral and ethics barrier.
