confirmation bias is NOT really small, the majority of people suffer from it, most unknowingly. People generally read content they agree with. This is a well understood phenomenon, people that agree with something are generally not capable of objectively evaluating it. Yes only a small percentage might be intentionally screwing with the ratings, they are not the problem, the problem is the majority that will be unknowingly screwing with it due to confirmation bias.
have a read, not the best article, but it does explain some of the problems quite well. https://www.theguardian.com/media-network/media-network-blog/2014/may/13/internet-confirmation-bias
