I opened a google account and wrote two genuine reviews. Both were rejected automatically. I pressed a button to let them check again, they were again rejected.

I deleted my account again and remembered why I deleted my first account a few years ago. Google sucks, they can't controll their own algorythms, they are a faceless mega corp that harvests data like crazy. Everyones life would be better, if google vanished from the face of earth right now.
