Nowadays I look for reviews on Reddit. If I can't find any that I consider to be legitimate, I won't buy the product if it's more than £10.

I'm afraid it's only a matter of time before that becomes an astroturfing target as well. At least there's account history associated with it, so there is some effort associated with creating or purchasing accounts with believable histories. Long term I think facebook wins this space because they have the most in depth real digital identities tied to people.
