From the Apple app store link, people are giving glowing 5-star reviews that are titled "Earn Crypto for playing games", "Playing = making $$$", and "Epic btc".

From the same link, the app description says "Most users earn an amount that is only worth a fraction of one cent (USD)."

Pray tell, where is your targeted marketing finding people who get excited enough to write gushing 5-star reviews over being paid "a fraction of one cent (USD)"? On the first couple of days after release, no less.

You "paid for very targeted marketing on day 1" to "Users who already played on our android app", to quote your own posts, to get the reviews we see on the Apple app store?

Your statements are difficult to parse into any kind of coherent defense.

We did both. I was being asked about specific reviews and where I think they came from.
