My assumption is that authentic reviews don't exist, at least on the English-speaking web, to the extent that they did 10-20 years ago. Google doesn't find authentic reviews in most areas, but neither does DDG or Bing. Google and DDG, however, are very good at finding authentic reviews in niche market segments where authentic reviews are still common. The fact that search engines can find these reviews suggests that the lack of authentic reviews for mainstream products is much more due to a lack of authentic reviews on the web rather than a problem with search engines.
