I've become really skeptical of Reddit comments around products for this reason. Searching "best X site:reddit.com" and going off the top comment recommendation seems really sketchy when that top comment is only 5-10 points.

Maybe I'm just really paranoid these days, but I would bet looking at searches with Reddit in them and creating threads or commenting on old ones and paying for up votes is probably lucrative.

Reddit has been astroturfed for a good 10yrs at this point.

User reviews are useless without some sort of vetting process. As far as I know there isn’t a platform available today that provides this.

You should be skeptical. Every marketing professional knows and uses Reddit. Sentiment is casually discussed in meetings etc.
