If you speak a small language reviews might still be valuable for everything but restaurants. I have not noticed any systematic spam reviews in neither swedish nor danish.

The problem with restaurants, being an overall shady business, is probably that way too many customers are too easy to please or hard to please, so the reviews doesn't say much.

I don't speak any languages with less than a couple hundred million speakers, so I find salvation in some of the smaller, more niche communities, preferably with invite-only registration process, or simply less well known.

Increasing popularity never made anything better.
