    Yes if you abuse it you can end up being penalized by having rich snippets removed or even worse.

    How could they be abused i.e what are the dos and dont's?
    I haven't used them yet though I have seen them on some sites.

    My first stab at success is the Nike Air Yeezys this is what made me believe.

    You can't be scared of rejection on the quest to perfection.

      Check the quality guidelines section:

      Take note of:

      These quality guidelines cover the most common forms of deceptive or manipulative rich snippet behavior, but Google may respond negatively to other misleading practices not listed here. It's not safe to assume that Google approves of a specific deceptive technique just because it isn't included on this page.
      If you're in competitive spaces, competitors also have the ability to report abusers.
