Replying to @Molson_Hart
Were reviews ever particularly useful? I don't remember, but I mostly know exactly what I want to buy before I get to Amazon. Amazon reviews are still wildly better and more useful than any other online retailer, however. Check out Home Depot or Walmart or Harbor Freight...

I think they were. Today, there are many non-branded options of the product you want to buy on Amazon (usually at lower prices than the brand you have in mind). Once upon a time, reviews were useful in sorting out which were good or bad.

Other sites' reviews maybe uninformative or mostly stupid, but at least they're not fake.
