Depends what they use it for, if they use the detector to make a thanks pop-up message, it's allowed, but if they use it so you have to love/favorite to continue in the project or en extra item or something, then it's reportable.

if the detector only gives you like a thanks after you love/fav it, it should be alright
but if it gives you something like an extra life or a skin, yeah, it’s reportable

Depends, if a love and fav detector is used in a non harmful way, such as saying “Thanks for the love/fav!”, then it's fine, but if its using the love/fav detector to give items or a boost, then it would be going agains Terms of Use for manipulating statistics (Section 3.5, item 5).

Well, a skin wouldn't give any advantages to the player, so it's allowed isn't it?

It isn’t, since it’s still giving the player stuff
And tbh, a game could have smth like “this skin gives you an extra bullet/boosts 30% of your speed”
So does that mean I can basically report every game on trending?

The ones which use a love and favourite detector, yes.
But most games on trending use tag spamming so they are reportable anyway

If the detector gives you extra benefits besides a thanks
