Do you really want to do anything that looks like abuse with your Google account though?

When people don't know why Google banned their 15 year accounts I wonder if it's not from innocent stuff like this.

Yeah, be careful doing anything like that on the Play Store. You can get your account randomly locked out with no explanation (I haven't been able to review apps, leave comments or contact the developer for like 3 years, and I never got an email or notice about this)

If you have a gsuite account, that might be the reason. This started somewhere in 2018.

I have the same problem - paying Google customer, so I'm not allowed to leave ratings or reviews on Google's app store. Support's ignored my requests on this.

Wait... why?! I can't think of a single reason Google would do this.

Oh, that explains it! Mystery solved, thanks :-)

It’s doubtful that any AI is involved, but I wouldn’t be surprised if Google have an algorithm that decides thay X number of negative reviews must be spam, without considering the quality and correctness of the review.
