How to get rid of short and useless reviews on Steam?

Arqade Asked by Oleg V. Volkov on August 16, 2021

Steam reviews section is progressively plagued with more and more short and absolutely garbage "reviews". Sometimes they are funny, sometimes not but they give next to zero information about should I try this game or not and why.

Here are some examples copypasted directly from few games:

This Game Good. Big Tank go boom.
CoH3 when?

Yes, each line above is a complete text of an entire "review". Just voting "not helpful" doesn’t seem to solve the problem – for some reasons people tend to massively vote "helpful" for this junk. Each one-line "review" above was pulled from the top of list sorted by "most helpful".

I feel that size would be good criteria to get rid of those reviews – it is pretty logical that you’d have to write at least some length of text to make a really useful review. So, is there some way to filter those short reviews out? Preferably both on game page and in on full review list browse page (/app/NNNN/reviews/ URLs).
