No one can know who's actually voting in the userscore, but one thing's for sure - due to that, it can't be used as any realistic measure of player satisfaction. 

In a lot of cases this is true, but I think the user score for Nintendo games is pretty accurate. 

Could be, but I still wouldn't look to it if I was on the fence about a game, regardless of how they rate it.

Oh, I never do that! I don't even look at reviews to decide if I buy something or not. I just look at gameplay vids! Too often have I been deceived by good reviews. The only reason I watch reviews is for entertainment (and I mostly watch independent reviewers on youtube, they don't feature on metacritic). 

I see metacritic as a nice compliment to a game I liked (or an insult if the metacritic score is too low for me).
