Yo, anyone tried buying Google reviews? Worth it or nah?

Hey fam,

so I’ve been thinking about boosting my biz on Google but like, legit wondering if buying reviews is actually a move or just sketchy vibes. I’m tryna improve review average and was curious if this is the shortcut or just a trap.

Like, does it even help or do the bots catch on and wreck your rep? I’m tryna keep it lowkey, not get flagged or anything. Plus, is it super obvious when you’re scrolling through or nah?

Just wanna hear some real talk from peeps who’ve done it or know the tea.
