Some animals received five stars along with glowing reviews, while others weren’t as lucky and got some scathing comments. The #rateaspecies movement on Twitter has provided us with much-needed entertainment. See just some of the reviews below.

World’s Biggest Photoshop Troll Strikes Again With Hilarious New Photo Edits

Ask James Fridman for a free Photoshop favor and he’ll do it. But you’ll probably end up regretting it!

Mark Andrews

When it comes to the internet and life in general, everyone should know this thing by now – you can’t expect good results when you ask for free favors. We’ve seen it over and over again, people who think they can get away with free stuff end up getting disappointed.

And they deserve it, right? Besides, the things they ask for – such as editing photos – takes skills and talents. So it’s just right that they pull some money from their pockets if they want to get quality work done for them. Exposure can’t pay the bills, so to speak!

We’re guessing this is exactly why James Fridman continues to be hailed as one of the biggest Photoshop trolls in the world of social media. His wit and humor is totally exceptional!
