You have an explanation for these reviews and I believe it, but the developers you're attacking surely have a good explanation for theirs? Is it possible that bad reviews are not always the result of bad intentions?

I support your effort to improve the App Store and get Apple to be more fair. I don't support using public outrage to accuse other developers of purchasing reviews, without proof, in a way that could harm their income. It's immoral and possibly a tort of defamation.

I don't doubt that you have good intentions but going down this path will just lead to developers using public outrage to try to damage each other, not to Apple adjusting their rules and review process. Someone with enough twitter followers could easily do this to someone else.

The rating of my reviews matches the overall rating of my app.

That is not the case - at all - for the app(s) I mention in my Twitter thread.
