Coinbase buying 5-star ratings on TradingView like a solopreneur growth hacker

Just received an email from Coinbase offering 100 USDC to users who give them a 5-star rating on TradingView.

This feels deceptive.

I have seen growth hackers do this a lot, but... Coinbase?

Curious if others have received this email or what you think about platforms allowing this kind of practice.

Here is the email:
