I mean the public accepting the validity of reviews by the unknowns and strangers you usually get online. I'm not sure they put as much credence in the worth of online reviewers as they do from famous, established reviewers, and most especially when the reviews are either 1- or 5-stars; more often the value of the online review is automatically questioned, whereas the value of such a glowing (or stinking) review from an established source is less likely to be challenged.
I mean, if no one knows me from Adam, why should they care if I give a 5-star review of
Mars Girl? They'll just assume I'm in Garrity's posse, and move on.
