Got this notice today. Did anyone else get this? @ASV_Vites ?

I guess the removal is baed on a very narrow criteria. I’m on mobile so have no clue which review they removed.

I don’t hate this, yet.

We all know bad/paid reviews are a thing!

I got one today, a couple last week, and 1 about a month ago.

IDK if this is a brand new program or our favorite competitor is up to their old tricks and some of them are getting caught.
