I gave Merge.dev a 1 star review on G2 after my poor experiences with them(https://www.g2.com/products/merge/reviews/merge-review-8334916) I did so with a company account but I had left that company in mid 2023 yet I recently saw that the review had been changed to a 5 star review in Janurary 2024?

How is this legal and is there any way I can get this fixed?

The biggest thing is I no longer have access to the email address where I wrote the review and I wonder if they recognized that and went and edited it since I wouldn't be checking?

What do you mean tell HN? I don't use this site that much, like do I just tag the submission with it?

You preface the title with Tell HN. Helps boost visibility and gets the point across quickly. Else people would have thought your post was a link to an article or something and wouldn't have bothered reading through it.

Tag your title if possible, but if can't anymore no problem, just tagging for future text searches etc

Maybe they reached out to the company you previously worked for, and the company changed the review?
