Yeah this feels like a problem that’ll never go away without a dedicated “tiger team”. I think if Shopify wants to address this, they’ll likely need to expand their Review API to include a review link generator. It should become required when doing review asks. Which means needing to add attribution data to reviews (natural reviews from the app listing, vs ask surfaces/interactions).
Part of the API’s expected input will be the ID of the interaction, or even the body of the interaction. Letting them audit review asks easily (with AI even) without needing to “secret shopper” their own platform.
