Yes, it's about as useless as relying on Amazon reviews.
Affiliate marketing and SEO optimization have pretty much destroyed the usefulness of searching for product reviews.
I usually just add "reddit" to the end of whatever I'm searching. It's the only way to read what real, mostly-unincentivized people think about something.
I wish Google had a way to "downvote" results. Sure they would have to mitigate artificial manipulation, but what they have currently doesn't work well.
