No, free reviews are a hard problem to solve. But it's been done before.
The reason there are famous restaurant and movie reviewers is because they are professionals paid enough by their publications to keep them honest.
The problem is that SV wants content, but doesn't want to pay for it. Spending money doesn't "scale." So the bubble solicits reviews from random people with no vetting. Garbage in, garbage out. "Crowdsourced" is just another word for "amateur."
