There is more published every second than you can read/watch in a week, and this asymmetry is accelerating.

Credibility is one heuristic that let’s us figure out what might be worth investing time into, since your answer cannot be “everything”.

Definitely. Using credibility, or any other metric, to determine what to review is fine. Using credibility as part of the review itself is not something I agree with.

With respect to publishing, there is a significant volume of work, and we should be able to keep up with it long as people review as much as they publish.
