Which site it is posted on doesn't matter. What matters is, who wrote it and under which conditions it is written.This is a pirating site, why would they care about bad reviews here?
Unlike the paid reviewers of ign, pcgamer or any other big media outlets, pirates are actual players. They are not being paid or bribed in any way to write their reviews, this is why they write their honest reviews.
"Sponsored" content creators on youtube are also not transparent most of the time. This is because of two reasons. First reason is, if they talk bad about a game too much, they fear publishers/developers would stop sending them free games. Second reason is, they prioritize creating more interesting videos over honest reviews. Because this is what they do, this is why they are called "content creators". They earn money from doing this.
