I worked in a company a few years back where marketing people faked "trust-worthy" software like trust pilot reviews by using everyone phones, or with different IPs. Nowadays a 4.5 average review is not even that good for a product

Trustpilot also has paid subscriptions where the business can pay to send "review invitations". So a shitty business can get a high aggregate score because they've gamed when to ask for reviews.
