Most Steam reviews are jokes or are otherwise not serious in a way that is not helpful to me reading them.

Sure, some are funny and witty, but they're still helpful and the user has to rate the game, not just write a comment.

There's the occasional "in joke" comment that usually only makes sense to people who're already past a certain point in the game (or reference a meme known about the game), but they're nowhere close (not even in astronomical terms) to being being the majority review type. Even then, they still have to rate the game.
