So, apparently Valve has fixed Steam's user reviews, as in the memes, ASCII art, and other unhelpful stuff will (by default) not be visible first: https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/593110/view/4326355263805583415 Judging by a quick look, it's actually working! Well, at least until users find new ways to make reviews unhelpful again, but it seems much better for now.
