There is still a lot of value in reading reviews. People have grown cynical because there are a lot of fake reviews online these days, but that just means you have to think critically about what you are reading. Try to extract concrete facts from the text of the review, and as you identify each factual assertion that's being made, consider whether it seems like something that's believable and written by a real person, or something that's primarily an emotional appeal written by a bot or third world person employed by the manufacturer. At some point, we're going to hit a tipping point where no authentic human being ever writes any online review, and then they'll become totally useless, pure noise. That doesn't seem to be the case yet, though.
