I think the only reviews I somewhat value are Steam reviews

  The only review I trust for any company is a random stranger commenting on HN.

    There are alot of threads about X where there are kinda probable insiders writing lame positive stuff about the X thing. Like "that is really cool" or interested leading questions about it, when there is no way people here would naturally write it in such an optimistic manner.

    I have bad news for you, marketing teams and co have alerts set up for key words and there's a reason tech evangelists exist. HN is actively targeted for advertising.

      You don’t even need advertising for this place to be useless. Do you think everyone singing the praises for e.g. Rust here is using it in production?

      This is true for any large website and doesn't reduce the value of said comments in my opinion. It's pretty easy to distinguish a honest summary of a company from marketing praise.
