Maybe... but It's only 99% from "verified accounts", when you include non verified reviews it drops to 30%.

Additionally, all these verified accounts have usernames with either their first name, or their first name with the last initial (Jane or Mark F for example), many of them also don't go into detail with their reviews, it's just shit like:

Great movie! A must see.

Beautifully done! Sophistication and class. Amazing First Lady!

Great overall movie.

And so much more...

I am sure some magats loved it, but these reviews are total BS.

    Barely need Russian troll farms anymore; just trained bots will handle a lot.

    And then, pointing that stuff out doesn't make nearly the difference one might hope, as the message is primarily geared towards non-thinkers / binary-thinkers, anyway.
