> Google exists as a tool to search Reddit

I didn't realize that I'd migrated over to this. All my searches now are 'xxx reddit' or 'xxx stackoverflow'

I tend to do that too. But for product reviews, I am certain that the fake review problem will hit Reddit soon, if it hasn't already. This technique is way too common, and manufacturers are going to start including Reddit in their fake-review spam just like they do with Amazon reviews.

It's only a matter of time.

Something that might help is that reddit has voting, so astroturfing requires fooling users which lots of blogspam wouldn't.

The problem with that is that upvotes can be faked too.
