Just joined into this /c/ because I'm annoyed by this issue.
Steam now has a system for "helpfulness" on reviews, to help float the reviews that actually analyze a game's pros/cons. I wonder if they could take anything they learned there and apply them to guides. I'm now realizing that for live-service competitive games, there would theoretically be a lot to cover for newer players, but they're instead getting flooded with "How 2 win" meme-style posts.
I also kind of admit: Sometimes these are worth a laugh, and I'm unsure about a system that completely deletes them, but players should still be able to filter/sort when looking for guides that actually help them play.
