Actually, as a young researcher, I find the complete opposite. Sites like researchgate or facebook or any other "comment-ie" thing is sort of superficial in the sense that even though you might get some comments, they're usually quite minimal and bad. On the other hand, reviewers for conferences/journals are sort of obliged to put time into it and dedicate to give you a proper review and most reviews I've received are of very high quality.
