And if you think normal product reviews are in a bad state... well, then there are web hosting reviews. In that industry, pretty much 100% of the recommendations are driven entirely by &#x27;whose affiliate scheme brings the most money&#x27;.

Parts of that industry make the Amazon system look entirely respectable by comparison.<p>Then there&#x27;s the state of video game reviews, but that&#x27;s a whole &#x27;nother kettle of fish. Double so when mobile apps are involved.
