I too like their transparency, but for the opposite reason: I find review bombings are the only time reviews are actually useful.

Reviews are a dime a dozen, positive or negative; they normally aren't useful for judging whether a product is worth buying.

Review bombings on the other hand only happen when something happened to trigger the internet's sweaty wrath, and that is very useful as a unit of measure. Any particular review in the bombing is worthless like any other review, but the collective act of review bombing is very valuable information.
