Question about fake 5-star reviews on Amazon for budget electronics

A guy on Reddit who reverse-image-searched product photos convinced me to stop trusting anything under 4.5 stars with fewer than 50 written reviews, so what methods do you all use to spot fake praise patterns?

My buddy almost ordered a cheaper Bluetooth speaker that had all these glowing 5 star reviews but only like 12 people wrote them. Turns out every single review used the same phrase "surprisingly good sound for the price" word for word. He dodged a bullet on that one.

Oh man, that's so creepy. Good thing he checked.
