They are nice for getting hints on what's going on, but it's stupid to plainly believe stuff - like everywhere.
It's the same with cyber mobbing and posting random stuff about or even impersonating another person. If people wouldn't simply believe all the nonsense, be it FUD, advertisement or whatever a lot of things would be better.
This also seems to be a problem in the scientific field. Things sadly aren't transparent all the time. There are secrets and press releases that are made for investors. On the other hand there appear to be fewer peer reviews. Maybe because it's hard to make money doing so (especially when there is a lack of transparency in first place). If you want to discredit you competition it's far more effective to create FUD than it is to find (probably hidden) errors. Investors, consumers and even the media is unlikely to be interested into actual, scientific data that weaken or even disprove claims.
