Google news ist quite bad in Germany. Not all mayor media are listed. You still have to visit some media websites like "Frankfurter Allgemeine" separately.
Health topic is very bad with just one outlet posting questionable news and spamming the news system by posting one story under several different titles.
I have more than 100 products listed on Amazon Germany, with now over 400 reviews. Most reviews are good. Of course I never paid anyone for reviewing.
There are some reviews not related to the products. For example some people thank for fast delivery or they don't like the weight, which is totally unrelated to the product quality. Amazon should really remove those or at least hide them.
It is really difficult to spot fake reviews from competitors, because there are really no clues from Amazon.
Just once I got a very bad review for a product that wasn't yet available. Amazon didn't accept my complaint and the bad review is still visible.
I left my position as computer admin in 1997 when I found out about a EU-sponsored marketing course. For half a year the EU paid me about 700 Euros just for attending. Learned a lot. Even spend 2 months abroad at a british company (I'm German).
During this time I started working as freelancer author for several computer magazines. After that I went full time as a freelancer computer book author. This is the thing I'm still doing today.
You may be right with your comment. But in some cases I don't see the benefit for the market.
For example in Germany (and maybe other EU-countries as well) all ebike manufactures press their resellers to keep a certain price. Its just very obvious, because all local shops and online resellers stick to the same price. There is no benefit for the customer, when I look at the online reviews of the ebike shops. Bad customer service everywhere. After some consideration I bought an ebike with Chinese components directly from an importer for half the price of big brands. And after changing some minor components I'm extremly happy with it.
My experience with Pioneer. As a reseller I get a "price advice" from my distributor as a warning. If I don't stick to it, they won't sell to me next time.

In Germany wind tubine owners have to deposit money for the decommissioning. Not sure how this is handled in other countries.
Of course there are still open questions regarding the recycling of components.
Just a tipp: If the same tractor or car model is sold in Europe, just try to buy the corresponding repair/parts manual there.
