Deterioration at Amazon

The customer reviews at Amazon have been one of the unexpected successes of the web for me, because I had no idea that I would find strangers' opinions so useful. I have come to rely on them. So it's sad to read stuff like this (along with a rating of 5 stars):

Haven't yet received the book (...) but judging by the cover it is going to be an excellent and helpful tome.

The saddest part is that 11 out of 56 people found that review helpful. And this, for the same book, (also worth 5 stars):

Could be considering ordering the book (...) I must agree that the ease of use of the Times font is a superb idea.

In fact, all four reviews of the book are completely content-free.
