I actually avoid the reviews with photos as 99% of the time they end with &quot;I got this product for my fair and unbiased appraisal&quot; or somesuch.<p>I&#x27;ve never quite got around to writing a browser plugin that excludes any review that have such a statement, and &#x2F; or builds up a database of reviewers that are trustworthy on amazon.<p>The guys in the Top x of reviewers, who receive all this crap to review, basically it&#x27;s their living, they aren&#x27;t going to start bad mouthing it.<p>Maybe take the star rating of each review within a month of a new listing and then compare the average 6 months later to see how shill those initial reviewers are.
