Ultimately the only thing most people really care about is: are his books any good? If they are, readers will forgive him the tricks he's used to get their attention, if they aren't, the paid reviews will soon be swamped by real ones saying the books suck.

BTW, I was just reading an article about a trade-published writer who admitted a couple of years back to leaving bad reviews of books by other authors in his field. Things like that are the reason why trade-published authors are sneered at.
