Photos from people who received the product are useful, you never know with the marketting bs. And I would argue that random people review are important, but they are so bad right now that you got used not to look at them. Of course some will be stupid (1/5, came late), you just have to read them. Which is impossible with the 50.000 fake on every product.

I like the reviews that say "I've owned this for 20 minutes and it works great!" I assume most reviews are from people who just received the product (because that's when they'll think to write a review) and are therefore pretty useless as a guide to quality.

Yeah if you want in depth review it's not the way to go for sure. Independant reviewer on youtube or, if you're really desperate, reddit are better.
