I suspect shills are aware that people like yourself are looking for negative reviews.

Example: https://old.reddit.com/r/eero/comments/mk0l1w/eero_vs_orbi/

This entire thread dumps on Orbi Wifi devices and praises Eero. Maybe Orbi is inferior to Eeero, but the one-sidedness of the discussion is a bit unsettling.

The top comment was created by a poster who almost exclusively posts on the /r/eero subreddit over the span of one year. Many of their comments are specifically in praise of Eero devices.

It's one sided but that's a lot of shills if you think they're shills. Shills with 10-year-old accounts and active posting history that continues to this day. No, I'm pretty sure at least some of them must be authentic.

Take that terminaldude for example. Ok, ten months ago they didn't have problems with Eero. Well, I guess now they do? https://old.reddit.com/r/eero/comments/pq6mvg/chasing_ghosts...

Of course, this only hilights that user reviews are hit and miss. It's not so uncommon for something to work well at start but then you discover problems later on.

On technology specifically I tend to view these types of threads more through the lens of tribalism than shilling. Like, I don't have reason to believe Lenovo or HP is paying people to whine about Apple online, I'm willing to believe people will do that all on their own.
