Have you had a review removed from superhive (blendermarket)? (lemm.ee)

A post on reddit mentioned it, https://www.reddit.com/r/blender/s/x5spMcUxoS I also had a 1 star review removed for saying a different addon wasn't compatible with linux when most blender addons are and no where in their description do they specify that. (different addon, same marketplace, they didn't change the description after my review was removed either)

Seems like they remove all 1 star reviews to artificially inflate the value of everything on their site since they make a profit off anything sold. It seems they also take a large cut out of any sale.

I think they're going through some growing pains is all.

There was that little fiasco a while back where "giveaway" items didn't include lifetime support (understandably) and they didn't denote this clearly, and their standards with participating creators could have been a little better too, which resulted in a lot of items getting review-bombed like crazy.

I admit I even did this to one product because it was actually removed from my account before I had a chance to download it, because the promotion was over. They since fixed that though.

People also do dumb things that hurt everyone involved, like leave 1-star reviews that are essentially customer support questions. "Would not work." Or something.

I dunno, if it were ArtStation or something I'd probably be like "Yeah they're being fishy!"

But the CGCookie / Autotroph / Superhive people are good folk, and I don't think anybody's getting filthy rich off Superhive. Could be wrong, but I'd love to hear what they have to say about it before assuming deceptive behavior.

I do remember their giveaways basically being demos and extremely limited
