Well you can see the screenshot from Telegram, in which he asks for money to provide an 8+ review instead of 6.4 or whatever.
Yeah I see it, but that doesn't look like a threat or extortion scam to me.We all know how most rating websites work, you pay more and you get higher rankings, nothing new about that.
The extortion also came in form of fake review.
They're giving OP a preview of the draft they'll publish in case OP refused to pay. I peeked at their review page and see that there's no article yet about BKS, so I think the screenshot given by them --and from them, posted by OP here-- is indeed the draft.
Given its a false information which will be published if OP refuse to pay, I think that can be considered as an extortion and not how most --honest-- rating website works.
1. As we said at Antidolos.com, All reviews are free, and we don't charge for any project.
But if a project wants to use our non-free marketing campaigns, they are welcome to use our extra services.

This is nothing to be ashamed of
2. We shared the Backstage (BKS) private draft (5.5 score) with the founder and asked them for explanations. We wanted to hear their words before doing anything. After receiving the documents and explanations, we found some of them convincing and published the final version with a score of 6.1.
3. I ask you to do something.
Suppose all our words are nonsense. Read the review for yourself.

If these are false accusations, then why do Backstage founders are so worried?
We only expose the strengths and weaknesses of projects with evidence.
But the final decision is with the audience.
4. Please speak with proof and let the audience decide for themselves..
