Product reviews shared on social platforms carry more weight than official review sites because they are written voluntarily, without incentives. People trust Reddit threads, Twitter opinions, and HN comments more than G2 reviews. Monitoring these gives you real social proof insights. For startups, this is especially important because startups need to find product-market fit fast, and social listening is the fastest way to understand what your market actually wants.
