Has anyone else noticed that the Google Play store reviews are suspicious?

Like, you find a scam company or app, and every review you scroll through is 1 star. And yet the reviews claim 95%+ are positive.

Is there a way to prove it? I've noticed it for 3 years now, I no longer think it's a coincidence. Something scummy or scammy is going on

It's been an issue for far more than 3 years. Google sucks at moderation across all their platforms.

All I've noticed is that all the games and apps are crap. There used to be new stuff that interested me. Now it looks like a gallery of garbage that parents use to occupy their children because they can't be bothered to parent.
