As for unhelpful reviews, here's a good example "I was expecting more.
It gets boring and repetitive very quickly. I lost interest after
playing it for 2 hours..." Why bother writing that, how does it help
anyone decide whether they should buy the game. I'll gladly see the back

That's not unhelpful.  If it gets repetitive and boring in 2 hours,
that's very helpful information.

Not if the person who wrote that has ADHD, and gets bored of everything
in 2hrs or less.

Without context it's extremely unhelpful information.

The TL;DR people, generally not a font of wisdom or useful anything.

That's the concern I have.

It's more a concern that 'unhelpful' is based on what people are tagging
'unhelpful' (basically a like/dislike button.) which will mean review
bombers are going to start down-voting any positive reviews, and fans
any negative.

I imagine Valve will look for the unhelpful votes on useful reviews and
block them from voting, or ban them entirely.

Abuse the process, bye bye.
