From video by Drago on a mobile app Simply Draw. Which tries to children in by promising to teach them how to draw! But then you get hit by the paywall.
We shouldn’t inspire children to follow their artistic dreams, and then hit them with the paywall. Or the mobile app economy as a whole. Not all adults are ready for the mobile app economy, why do we think children are ready for that? It’s cruel. It’s harsh.
I followed along with the tutorial, it’s not a bad way to learn how to draw a fish. I’m depressed and I’m depressed because of fish thing so… I dunno if this helped me, it was a thing, I dunno.

Looks more like “give us 5 stars and you’ll get a free something” and this is how users try to get around it

Also, when displaying reviews, often sites display a 5 star review first. After all, the store also wants more sales.

Or, in this case, children thinking “oh, I’ll give them a 5 star rating, because they probably won’t read bad reviews, but they’ll be sure to read the good reviews. But joke’s on them, the good review is actually a bad review!” (…however, Google, despite being aware that “sarcasm” has been a thing for millennia, still thinks that star ratings are very serious and factual business.)
