Compared to a lot of hobby boards, and I've been on these boards since 2008, I think there is less bullshit here than most boards. Especially with the reviews. Other boards, you get shills for providers or you get providers writing their own reviews.
But it is not easy for providers, either. The verification process for providers themselves is not good and has gotten worse since SESTA. A provider told me just this week she was ripped off by a guy who had been verified by another provider. We've gone to a more "wild west" mode since the boards had changes due to SESTA liabilities.
But as it goes, reviews of AMPs are generally accurate in my opinion. There's little to shill about and even less pushback from others about whether a provider got treated well in a review.
