So, Google has done this before. They do omething similar with dislikes on YouTube. They aren't doing it manually. When a bunch of pissed off assholes brigade an app and flip a bunch of five star reviews to one star reviews based on one policy change, that's generally not something that Google want to have too trong of an effect. If negative reviews continue steadily over time, they'll pile up.

Except Robinhood absolutely deserves a one-star rating. Sure, go ahead and remove the reviews if they're untrue, offensive or obscene, but negative reviews about an incident that actually happened shouldn't be removed.

Would you mind explaining what happened so I can continue being lazy? Please?

Steam handles this much better. They show a warning saying there have been an unusual amount of low scores in a short time period and a graph of the score over time. So you can make your own informed judgment.
