For what it's worth, Bing is still showing review stars in the SERPs.

So, the Review Schema could still be helpful to have.

A belated "thanks" for the "thanks." I'm impressed with what you're doing for your clients and appreciate the posts.

Has anyone noticed a reduction in stars in the SERPs? I am still seeing some client competitors with obvious self-serving reviews still have the stars.

Most gone in my world, but a few competitors do still have them. Seems like an odd thing to be enforced so inconsistently.

*Most* got removed near the end of September.

 

[nwinezog]

Is there any downside to trying to go after them again, worst case scenario you just don't get them right?

 

[JoyHawkins]

Ya no downside IMO. Go for it.

I still see far too many of these in competitors. I am thinking about adding the schema in, which seems ridiculous, yet it bugs me so much to see others with them in the serps.

It does frustrate me to see Google results show 5 star rich snippets for the competition when after checking their code, I can clearly see they inserted it manually. So what do I do?

Report them to Google!
