Get the Ass reviewmug. Review Jerk is the opposite of review bomb. Its when people/reviewers/critics /fans flood content with positive reviews to push their own woke agenda when the content was clearly bad. Also Review jerking is something that doesn't exist according to people who always use review bombing as an excuse when reviews can be jerked or bombed.
Look at how critics review jerked Masters of the Universe: Revelation and also said "Its an impressively loyal He-Man series"

Get the Yelp Reviewermug. Online reviews that have been written by paid reviewers or directly by manufacturers, vendors, or other stakeholders.
Usually appear on web-pages alongside products for sale on sites like Amazon or eBay.
Also appear on shopping aggregators like Google's shopping pages and many others.
Frequently used tactic to boost a product's image and desirability by appearing to be based on actual user experiences,
but may also be used to denigrate or put-down products (or services) with negative comments and apparent user experiences.
User experience is the key to this type of false marketing, or 'lying' about products. With the rise of Social Media, online
communication has become an important factor in social relationships, becoming one of the newest sources of 'word of mouth'
reviews, comparisons and recommendations. Marketers seek to manipulate this otherwise valuable pool of honest opinion and
experience by hiring schills to write reviews, stacking the odds in their favor or against other products unfairly or untruly. By doing
so, they reduce the value of the honest reviews, recommendations and experiences that are usually posted -- many people are
quite honest and the drive to be helpful to other people is one of the strongest of social drives.

Get the Meme reviewmug. An annual review where you were told in person you were great, outstanding, etc. and then receive a "medium" written review because the "Review Curve" says that you can't give it to more than one person on your team.
Although my boss said I was an outstanding employee last year in the review meeting, I got review curved and received a "3" on my annual review.
