This is the same reason that Yelp is bullshit. And Amazon reviews. And pretty much any reviews you can find online. It's why people used the reddit search flag. Everything is gamed and manipulated. People suck.

Which is why reddit has been a target for gorilla marketing campaigns for a while now. I only trust review sites that I follow now

Yup. There are companies that sell reviews by the thousands. Amazon is a cesspool of fake reviews.
