I think video reviews will become more and more important. Sure, people can lie on camera, but I think it’s harder to fake convincingly. And AIs/spammers can’t present on camera with the same ease that they throw up blog posts.

This is the logic behind calling someone to verify who they are. Harder to fake with automated means, easy for people to verify if they know the person. The potential downside is that people can sometimes become overly trusting of truer to life higher bandwidth mediums. e.g. Fake IRS, grandson needs money for bail and baby (cue crying noise).

This reminds of an article I read many years ago about the Facebook's and Google's approaches to organizing information. The article argued that Facebook seeks to organize data in the context of human relationships. I wonder if the future of online reviewing will be one where people on trust reviews left by people they know. Facebook supports leaving reviews on company pages (AFAIK) but overall it seems like they haven't put much effort behind making a robust reviewing system. I can easily see them coming to dominate this market though.
