All I can say is that public reviews helped me alot in recent years.
Because there isn't a true unbiased "professional" reviewer I tend to value far more the users'/buyers' opinion.
More than once a "professional" messed big time in reviewing a product and I felt quite bad for trusting one person's opinion(pre internet era).
I agree that in many cases the reviews are useless, but almost always you can find some posts/reviews that can enlighten you about the product.
I don't really have a problem with the "spam reviews",as far as the trully helpful reviews can be posted.I can always ignore the stupid remarks.
