    I feel like I must be crazy but these reviews do not read like 5 star reviews. Seems super suspect.

      You’re right. One specifically mentions ‘would rate this 0 if I could’ so in lieu of that option, they selected a…5?

      Have they gone through and scraped the text from a bunch of real reviews and are reposting them with 5 star ratings to make them look organic?

        That honestly sounds to be the likely scenario. If someone saw the review they might shrug it off as an error or mistake.
