To continue the thread but being on the same page, I still think reviews are not something that humans can handle correctly. The people looking to game the reviews will always try harder than the people trying to stop them. I just don't trust online reviews from random internet people. I might ask people I know personaly and am familiar with and would be willing to trust their assessments. Randos on the internet just can't prove anything, because of course a bot could say/do everything a person would try to prove they are not a bot.
For those that are willing to put faith in reviews, have fun. Don't let my pessimism stop you.
