Reinforces what is, hopefully, now common knowledge.
TripAdvisor can be useful, when researching destinations and accommodation - but - the content needs to be filtered with caution and suspicion.
The longer article (at the end of the opening summary), to me, seemed a fairly arrogant proposition that only travel journalists could offer balanced reviews.
I'd rather read reviews from people who have stayed at a hotel, while keeping in mind, it is a personal opinion. Its easy enough to check a persons other reviews, to gauge biases etc.
