I'm super aggravated that you cannot easily check negative reviews. Most of the time positive ones are so vague (even if not shilled), meanwhile the negative ones will say "flimsy switch that will break", "500000 lumen standby diode", "leaks", etc etc

Yeah, but plenty of the 1-star reviews are because of shipping issues with the seller... I'd love to see the 2-4 star reviews... I also avoid most things that are all 1 or 5 star... if there aren't a few 2-4 and there's more than a dozen reviews, it's obviously got issues... It sucks that I have to think about though.
The worst ones is when there's 4-5 unrelated products, and the same reviewers on all 5 of them all 5-star reviews.
It's getting pretty bad... I think they should remove the weight of all ratings for users that have spent less than $1k on Amazon, and those that haven't continued to spend at least $100 a year... there's enough people that do spend that much regularly to count those reviews as a higher weighting..
