Reddit got more important once it Google ranked higher and the astroturfs found out, that people trust a review on Reddit inside a thread more, than multi million dollar marketing scam action, trying to game Google algorithm or other sites.

Can’t imagine how to preserve privacy yet eliminate fraud really. Paid reviewers like Consumer Reports? Random sample surveys?
