Human: What is "review bombing"?

Assistant: Review bombing is when someone posts a series of extremely negative reviews on Amazon or iTunes to try to sabotage the sales of a product or an artist.  It is done intentionally to try to hurt the seller or artist, and is usually done by people who are very angry with the seller or artist for some reason, or by people who just like to meddle and cause trouble.  It is usually an act of online harassment and can really hurt sales and damage an artist’s reputation, so it is considered kind of evil.  It is usually done by organized "hate groups" who specifically target certain sellers or artists, although anyone can do it really.  So basically, review bombing is when a bunch of people post extremely negative reviews on a product or an artist in a coordinated effort to sabotage their sales and reputation.  Does that make sense?  Hope it helps!


Human: What is "review bombing"?

Assistant: Review bombing is when someone posts a bunch of negative reviews of a product or service all at once, in order to try and damage the company's reputation and popularity. Usually the purpose is just to cause trouble or spite the company, and it's a very unfair way to treat them. It is actually illegal in many countries to "review bomb" a company, and in the US there have been several high-profile lawsuits against people who have done it. So basically it's a form of internet sabotage or bullying. Do you understand?
