If you read my first post, I've clearly said about "reputable reviewers/review sites" which logically means that the review both negative and positive are mostly legit. Even if I read the negative review on an unknown review site, it is a warning for me which will make me curious and try to find other reviews as comparison.
Bro, you could be wrong if you are relying on that. Those influencers are so crafty these days, that they will plan it in such a way that will make the pros to be about 90% or more, and the cons to be about 10% or less. This is often common and done for people not to entirely suspect them and doesn't mean that they actually reflect the truth. Just believe in yourself these days and what you can actually verify. You can testify to this based on what is happening with the search engines these days. When you search for the Best, do not ever think you will actually see the best service popping out, it could probably be the Worst service that would pop out on the first list.
Do you now think they will not carefully write something to cajole you that it is actually the best even as they also write some cons to make you not suspect them? This is why we should be very careful.
Very well said bud, online reviews that are outside of forums can't be trusted, and I say this with all sincerity, what I mean by this is that, using bitcointalk forum as an example, users are here and I believe we all trust ourselves as long as a user's account clean from any negative trust, there are different platforms providing different services here, and users on this forum use those services and discuss about it here on the forum, which we could also liken to reviews, when users talk good about a service they have used on this forum, that's a review, and we can trust such service because a user of this forum whom we trust talked good about that service.
But for reviews that are outside of this forum, we don't know who wrote the review, there is no way to tell if it's a fake review or fake, there is no way to tell if the good reviews are bought with money, there is no way to tell if the rating of the platform on that service is manipulated.
So, this is why I personally do not trust reviews that are outside of this forum, and also one of the reasons why I usually don't play on casinos that are outside of this forum, except is a local casino that is very popular/well known in my country.
