Seriously, magazines, newspapers, or other seriously online publications do not mind spending $1 (or even $30) on your app.

The best you can get with the promo code are some blogs, and giving them for review on blog is no different from giving out code to friend and families, or random users and ask for positive review, or write the review yourself. The review is influenced.

The only objective review is from real paying users whom you had no communication whatsoever. If you used promo code, it is tinted.

Be real.
Yes I do believe that, but I also understand there are far too many unscrupulous individuals such as yourself who think they are a way to mislead people by providing fake reviews. No there shouldn't be 2.5 million reviews, why? because not all codes get distributed, and not all codes get used.

Giving codes on a blog is very different, the people who pick them up are (or probably aren't) your friends and family and so do not have a direct connect to you, therefore should feel no obligation to write you a glowing 5 star review.
