There's certainly a symbiosis blog publishers and small startups wanting to be perceived as influential, and big companies releasing models and wanting favorable coverage.

I heavily discount same day commentary, there's a quid pro quo on early access vs favorable reviews (and yes, folks publishing early commentary aren't explicitly agreeing to write favorable things, but there's obvious bias baked in).

I don't think it's all particularly concerning, you can discount reviews that are coming out so quickly that's it's unlikely the reviewer has really used it very much.
