What Does This Mean?
[ SOCIAL MEDIA ][ DEGEN ECONOMY ]
A coordinated mass campaign of negative star ratings without necessarily writing full reviews, distinct from review bombing by targeting the numeric score alone rather than accompanying written criticism.
REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE
"The app's rating cratered overnight from rating bombing with no actual reviews attached."
LORE & ORIGIN
Emerged as app stores and rating-only platforms made it possible to tank a score without writing anything, a lower-effort variant of the review bombing pattern.
