NotiLo-A thief + fake reviewer

[adamlui]

This scumbag @NotiLo-A stole your extension and uploaded it also he is writing fake review on competitor pages

Do you want to report him here https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/feedback/user/19459857/ to increase the chances Mozilla bans him?

[adamlui]

You can also report him to GitHub https://support.github.com/contact/report-abuse?category=report-abuse&report=NotiLo-A&report_id=139514821&report_type=user w/ something like:

This guy stole https://github.com/semanticdata/firefox-chatgpt-in-sidebar to create https://github.com/NotiLo-A/firefox-deepseek-in-sidebar then upload to FF store, then he's going around writing fake reviews on perceived competition like he gave DeepSeek Omnibox a fake rating of 1-star https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/deepseek-omnibox/reviews/2534243/

The reason this inauthentic activity cannot be allowed and must be punished is because if you do nothing as per usual he will continue to do this which unfairly gives his extension more undue exposure which is bad for GitHub UX for users to be more exposed to extensions running stolen code and weren't truly higher rated

IDK maybe omit the "if you do nothing as per usual" cuz that's just ime whenever I report the fake followers that @ClearlyClaire buys (don't ask me why, there is something bizarre going on with Mastodon "employees" like they are constantly trying to get more followers than the maintainer called @Gargron who is highly inactive + I think he underpays them since he controls the funds are probable causes) but GitHub don't always get 'em all so I have to re-report using more convincing logic them not doing their job harms other users (but they end up banning them so it works but they had no history w/ you yet)

1. “Stealing” code under the MIT license with proper attribution is called a fork.
2. I gave it one star not to promote my own add-on, but simply because yours doesn’t work.

And filing complaints here instead of by email, throwing around baseless accusations, and leaving bad ratings out of spite is foolish and petty.

@semanticdata Mozilla just replied said they won't be doing anything:

So I installed his extension and similarly rated it based on it's just so laggy. That could be your recourse too btw if they ignore you too since they don't care about fake reviews from him apparently

Because these are the reasons AMO is so niche, why not be like the big bois..

I gave it one star not to promote my own add-on, but simply because yours doesn’t work.

Works for every other reviewer (including me, I tested secs after your fake rating) except for you who is conveniently the only one who is an author of competing DeepSeek add-on 🙄 so we are all lying except for you huh?

And filing complaints here instead of by email, throwing around baseless accusations, and leaving bad ratings out of spite is foolish and petty.

What does it matter where I expose you if you did nothing wrong sir? Also your add-on terribly slows my browser down but if you behave I'll reward you, lemme know your next move (you can delete reviews, maybe lesson learned is don't start unethical wars if you can't handle the repercussions like bad publicity, this is not "foolish" but actually wise life lesson)

[adamlui]

@NotiLo-A I see you have doubled down on your lie now, adding a fake reason after my report, here is my reply to you

I now realize you will probably never delete this fake review of an extension that works for everyone except for supposedly you because it will make you look guilty but you don't realize what you're getting into because we're enemies now and that is not a pleasant position for anyone to be in but you can still rectify it if you wanted, this is your final warning to do the right thing and delete your fake rating, no more warnings will come after this one (except potentially from a lawyer)

[adamlui]

Also look:

This means your uninstall rate is astoundingly high. So instead of calling everyone else liar or resorting to 1-starring your perceived opponents, maybe reflect on the true reason you are not succeeding and focus on ethical way to stop your user churn instead?

(i.e. users are not installing my DeepSeek add-on over yours, they are installing yours then uninstalling i.e. I am not the reason you are failing so why are you 1-starring them and risking suspension and making enemies I don't get your brain)

[adamlui]

@NotiLo-A you know you can just make up fake accounts to bomb me (and I to you so don't make it worse) so why would you use your publisher account to make the fake rating that's just insanely dumb because now I know who you are

[adamlui]

@NotiLo-A you're not even slick sir:

You did it to the # 1 rank guy too lol why would you use your real account this is unbelievable

[adamlui]

Actually I'm not gonna warn the other author since Mozilla employees could care less and you're technically bombing a competitor of mine too but you really shouldn't take out your failures on innocent other winners who did nothing to you because karma is real and maybe because you describe yourself as "small" you are young, so I am 42 giving you life advice you should actually listen to if you want to win like us too

[adamlui]

i.e. we got where we were not by making enemies (winners rarely do, we commonly attract haters like you though but is not the same as instigating a rivalry) so try to figure out why we outrank you and emulate that instead

[adamlui]

i.e. it's not as simple as higher rating = higher rank, we hit Trending multiple times etc. like giving fake ratings won't push us down unfortunately it doesn't work that way

[adamlui]

@NotiLo-A I don't do any active marketing on any of my apps btw they trend organically I'm just saying the algo takes a lot more factors than just user count or star rating so your technique is quite rudimentary and mis-aimed

[adamlui]

@NotiLo-A sir can you say something it is noon in Belarus I know you see this

[adamlui]

@NotiLo-A you can call me @ +1 415-894-0301 it will not be bad maybe we can collab (in ethical ways) beacuse even though the technique and using your real acct was dumb I see you joined in Sep so are noob and didn't think things thru but that's still impressive you even thought to bomb your competitors (a typically Chinese thing to do but you're white so that is truly special thought process) since it showed you understood the importance of ranking at least (most 2-mo old authors have no idea why they fail and just quit, you got close you figured out broad reason). Also I used to have an Eastern European poker buddy who similarly had a Chinese way of thinking like you and we made lots of money together trolling opponents to dump their chips to us, just saying I really wish you didn't do what you did because we would probably get along and its not too late for that

[adamlui]

@NotiLo-A also don't be discouraged because amo strangely counts daily not weekly active unlike chrome and edge stores so your user count is not unhealthy at all given how young it is, just they are mostly uninstalling so don't take it out on strangers because it's not their fault and you are about to learn this is bad karma I think especially if you keep doing it (also remember you copied the code so it's not like you "deserve" our position so no reason to get mad and attack our ratings w/ fake stars like that)
