I think this is true for almost any product nowadays that isn't in a ridiculously small niche.

Most non-niche products on Amazon I've found get a poor score on "FakeSpot".

I believe someone even admitted on reddit that he/she was actively creating fake reviews and fake stories about certain boot brands on relevant subreddits.

Unfortunately you can't trust anything online anymore. You need to spend hours or days researching the technology or product category in order to make a judgement on the products available.
