It was no different when there were just magazines. Hell, EGM was kind of like Metacritic before Metacritic, averaging the scores of multiple reviewers, even sometimes the scores of people who had no business reviewing a certain genre or franchise.

And you always have people who will read a review from someone they trust and be turned off, and it applies in music, movies, and books as well. Idk why he would think games should be different, or held to a different standard. And those people he described are most certainly a tiny minority.
