Don't trust Glassdoor

So I received an offer from a company and Glassdoor reviews for that was around 4.3 which is too good to be true. I talked to some ex-employees of that company and they told me earlier it used to be around 1.7/1.8. The company gave money to Glassdoor to remove these reviews. I thought Glassdoor could be generally trusted, I guess there is some potential in this market

How are some companies maintaining a 4+ rating on Glassdoor?

Are these real reviews or fake reviews / managed reviews ?? I don't believe any company could be so good for ~80/90% of folks working there , and that none of the "bad hires"/ ex-employees decide to go on a rant on Glassdoor against th...
