...the sad thing is, people become brainwashed due to this manipulation, insisting that their belief or opinion of something is the right one, just because the reviewer says so.

It is common in human nature for someone to try to persuade others that the persuader's view is the right one. Its easy to see it when someone tries to persuade you to believe something you don't want to believe. Its hardest to see when you are the persuader. Also, its easy to believe one's own view is the right one.

Humans always have some tendency to go 'tribal,' become polarized, and take sides against one another. The tendency tends to be exacerbated when times are hard, such as during pandemics, inflation, etc. Also there is mounting evidence that overuse of highly popular internet forums isn't helping promote good mental health, nor the tolerance of exposure to competing ideas, among young people.
