dont think things are any worse than they have been at various times over last few years. can be a variety of reasons why pos or neg reviews are posted. some may not want to post negs as they may think they will be seen as stupid, some may do it from annoyance, some may post a positive as it makes them look good, and of course there are review baggers. worst time recently was late 2012 into 2013, and diamonds rom period.
