Yes, it's an imperfect system, to be sure. And why would you send stuff to someone who does nothing but trash your stuff? But guys do manage to pull off the balancing act, the better ones, anyway. There are some good reviewers in all fields who manage to do it right. Give credit where is it due & call out a company, if warranted.

That was one of my suggestions. Use & donate. Review more, get to try more. Seems like a good deal to me.
