A review is easier to asses quality about, though. If a review is just "I am using this product, haven't had any issues with it", then that's a shit review and people are not going to like it. But for a simple recommendation (which is where referral links are most often going to be used), that is usually enough. Somebody posting loads of good reviews all over the forum isn't spam, it would actually be pretty great. But someone giving shallow recommendations left and right is much more disruptive.Not having any good implementations for the proposed solution is a valid point, though.
