A while ago I contracted a 'visibility strategist' to increase the exposure of my novel Teak Lord (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/62791284-teak-lord). This 'strategist' uploaded a bunch of fake reviews between July 4 and July 28, all AI created, including fake reviewers and photos, as well as 2 identical reviews by different reviewers, which makes it clear that Goodreads reviews are not monitored in any way. I understand that the website never responds to complaints, but hopefully as more readers become aware how untrustworthy the site is, the site will cease to have any traffic.
Claimed loss: $200
Desired outcome: Monitoring of reviews by Goodreads.
