Q: Hey Olman...
What is going on with Appsumo? This used to be a safe place to buy from.
There are four 5-taco reviews, all from guys who joined Appsumo YESTERDAY and bought their first deal today — Ad Optimizer — and all of them way over the top in glorifying the deal.
They are obviously fakes.
I alerted Appsumo to the first one, and it says that is still awaiting approval by the moderator, and is hidden away under the "Show/Hide replies" function. So, nobody can see my alert.
Is this the new Appsumo, where there are no rules for sellers?
The reviews look so fake lol, all with 1 deal and 5 star reviews, LOL deal just launched and they started using and getting results in just one day? :D

I wasn't aware of it, thanks for pointing that out.
I noticed this as well. Those reviews were posted within minutes of each other.
Soooo obviously fake. This is disappointing and casts a real shadow of doubt on the integrity of the Adoptimizer team
I noticed that too. Looks like fake reviews, all with just 1 deal bought and all the same day just minutes from one another. What's going on ?
using A.I. to transform the way you do reviews ?! A clear red-flag
LOL rmtux!
