The review sites are only where you start (after you know what questions to ask and what to look for). While they gather together a lot of info that would take much tedious Google searching to replicate, they are not the end destination, and fact-checking is required. Way too many idiots on other forums want me to just tell them which VPN to choose, because they are too damn lazy to do the homework necessary to make an informed decision. Instead I tell them to flip a coin. Picking a VPN is an important decision that most prefer to treat flippantly, then bitch and whine when it fails to live up to their expectations.
i agree totally with what you said and i offer some resources for choosing a VPN here...
