The reviews are usually somewhat accurate but only include items found on Amazon. So I'm guessing they hire people to write the reviews.

I have the impression that they use ghostwriters that summarise a couple of Amazon reviews, gain some superficial familiarity with the subject (talking points), but have no real experience with it. I've seen many of such sites (mattresses, bike accessories, VPNs, certain apps, etc.) that seem superficially plausible, but here and there betray profound ignorance of the subject matter.
