How to recognize fake supporters?

I have a long TBR list. I made it by myself, nobody pushed me, even some people tried :)

The point is, I support some people.

I support books I like, these deserve my attention.

If I don't like a book, I will not review it.

Recently I saw Goodreads deleted my 10 ratings. Even though I don't prefer Goodreads, I support this decision because ratings come from people who did not read my books.

That leads me to the question: Why do some people rate books automatically, even if they did not read them?

Do you think you are helping authors? No, you are spamming.

I saw three profiles on Goodreads who did it around. My 12 books got a 5-star rating without explanation.

I feel the same as they got 1 star. Because I click on these profiles, I saw they rated over a thousand books with 5 stars, again, without explanations.

I understand not everyone is a book lover. Some people want to seek attention, claiming they are reading books. They want to be present in the author's world.

If you don't read, admit it. It is not a shame. Fake support is damaged.

Authors invest their time and money in books. They want opinions, not numbers. Authors want book sales, not random spam.

How to recognize someone who did not read your book?

A person will say that is a good book, without telling why.

A person will say to everyone their books are good.

A person will offer you his book in exchange to review it. If you don't want to review it, this collaboration is over.

Fake support is like plastic flowers. It doesn't smell, it just looks good.

Sites such as Amazon and Goodreads, their algorithms will recognize trolling and they will delete it. It is worthless.

If you give an opinion, do it right. Or don't do it.

6 signs that your readers don't read your book

Your book is live. That day came, and now you need an audience, a reader's community to show interest. What you need are readers who will read and review your book. The author feel excited like a student who went to the exam and waits for his mark. In this situation, you are not afraid of negative reviews. What is the point? Sometimes, your readers are not reading your book. They pretend they read, instead of this they are scrolling pages and write reviews, thinking they are doing a favor. A real reader will need time to read book. It is not fast eating and swallowing, there is much more in reading books. It demands your time, focus and attention, also understanding. That is why I read 20-30 books per year, I can't do more. A book review can talk much about reader. If the review is short, it could be a sign that a book is not read. Maybe I am wrong, maybe a reader did not enjoy so he left only a note. How to know your book is not read? There are no sign of reading pages in your...
