Apple haters for their tv service? That makes no sense. The service just came how and there’s no way they would have haters of cinema. The shows just either look bad or are bad.
And my guess is that Louis Rossmann’s opinion on Apple products is catching major steam and rightfully so. Apple is putting a choke hold on 3rd party repair shops, while making their laptops impossible to repair, and easy to malfunction, making the consumer buy a new laptop when Genius Bar suggests it.
It’s no surprise they took down reviews. They took down the comments section in YouTube a long time ago.

I don't really mind this, as I wouldn't trust ratings on Apple's own site anyway. I'd rather have no reviews than only the good reviews with all the bad ones deleted.

well sure, with people like you all around constantly bashing Apple for no good reason, makes sense for them to remove reviews and ratings.

User reviews only spread hate from anti-fans of the the brand that didn't own the product.
Unless you can make sure only users that brought the product make a review then it is useless and should be removed.

Kingslayer, 22 Nov 2019Apple's YouTube channel and Twitter page disables comments ... moreIt happened to me on PhoneArena. When I called them on their Apple bias and mentioned Christmas bonuses coming, suddenly I was banned like 3 times in a row, sometimes even in advance, until I used a completely different nickname and email. This behaviour disgusts me, as the whole F ing rotten fruit company and their malicious practices.

Guys, no matter what apple do. How low, how devious, how disrespectful towards the paying customer.
There will always be people defending them and fabricating "reasons" for why is that "the best" decision. ALWAYS!

Kangal, 22 Nov 2019I actually defend Apple for this decision.
It is the right... moreyes leave it for the sales people to not do their task. sure they will tell us about the faulty keyboards, the bad quality that bends form light daily use, all the missing features and price value other competitors have. surely they would disclose any design defects before reviewers get to do it and give you most informed decision by only tellling you why you should buy their products.
if anything your suggestions of leaving it to staff to market is like saying remove the good reviews only. not the reason apple is removing the reviews lol.

in my opinion, it is a not so good move... they should have checked if the review is from the real user, that is they can only provide a review through iDevices... does it mean that their iDevices do not deserve a good review? but they still have many users? i assumed that they have good reviews... not an iDevice owner, btw...

Even if they are fake positive reviews. Lol.

They are simple waste of time like Apple.

A company which does the right thing shouldn't be afraid of negative review , I guess, nowadays Apple is on the other side.
