Reminds me of how how people give trivial stuff away for "free" in online marketplaces, but ask to be paid with a good review before handing it over. Do that a few hundred times and whoa, you're an amazingly rated seller!

Yeah, that's why I hate this model to begin with (and basically never leave reviews for software). If you have to ask/bribe me for a review, you ruined the point of what a review it. It is to let other prospector buyers know my genuine experience with the product or seller.

I don't mind being prompted for a review after the fact (because sure, I will forget otherwise), but it should be a prompt, not a beg.
