The problem with ratings is that you are relying on altruism.
People doing the real ratings are not getting any direct benefit from the work to rate.
However, people doing fake ratings are getting direct monetary benefits.
Which of these two groups do you think will create more ratings?
For a consumer, I think the only thing that ultimately works is something like consumer reports which people pay money for and which do not accept any money or gifts or free samples from the makers of the stuff getting reviewed.
