It's really hard to know whether or not the reviews are astroturf though. Sometimes poor English is a clue, but not always.
That's the point of sorting by newest. If a product has been for sale for over a month it is highly unlikely that most of the most recent reviews are fake/paid.
That's where fakespot comes into play. I have the add on on my browser and it rates the reviews. Anything below a B is probably filled with fakes. You can even sort the entries using fakespot adjusted review scores.
