Yeah, God forbid anything that is amazing and great for a larger company would be honest!
We are only 4 years old and we have over 375 reviews on Angies List. We lie bribe and con our way to get a review each and every day. It makes me sleep better at night. LOL
AngiesList and kudzo are different animals though. People pay to use AngiesList and that fact only makes them more likely to give you a review.
AngiesList is NOT big in this area, just a little over a thousand members and i get 10 jobs from Google reviews for every one job from AngiesList but yet in one year on AngiesList I've gotten 17 reviews, in 5 years on Google I've gotten a total of 18 reviews.
That said, i have no idea if they are real or not. Usually if you read enough of them you can get a feel for which ones are likely fake and i don't have the inclination to bother reading them because i just don't care.
I'm sure you seen companies called "reputation managers"? That is exactly what these companies do. They leave you lots of fake positive reviews in an attempt to bury the bad reviews. We have a large company that participates right here on this board that has used a similar approach with fake reviews (i think google has made this a little harder these days) so some of us may be just a little jaded.
