I've noticed that too -- it's kind of a weird full circle. I used to stand in a brick and mortar store and pull up my phone to checkout amazon reviews before purchasing. Now, I feel higher levels of trust in the supply chain of most Brick and Mortar stores. I've got no clue who to trust in the review space. I tend to trust comments I find in niche subreddits more than I should. They're probably 50% astroturfed or driven by poor incentives, but overall it tends to push towards higher end established brands rather than cheap knockoff garbage. At least going towards the former isn't an electrocution risk, I guess..
