Reddit has started posting purchased 5 star reviews on Apple Store, wouldn’t be surprised if they were doing on Android as well. This is illegal and you can voice your dissatisfaction with the FTC at the provided link.

Strange, that’s definitely different from what I’m seeing, I’m not sure why that could be. Google might only show localised review scores?
Yep, seems like it. Another shitty thing by Google. So I’m not seeing an average of 2M reviews, the fucking count that’s placed just below the score, purposefully to mislead me, but god knows how many hundreds of reviews of the same old phone model that I use. And who knows how “recent” or how broad that “region” is.
That is such a Google design decision. So pointlessly stupid indeed.
Yes, google only shows localized review scores.
it’s possible you’re only seeing the reviews from your region
Quite possible. Google is indeed clearly massaging the result, most likely according to location. I get a 3.6 score here at the time of this post.
