I check the one and two star reviews mainly to see if there any issues that come up repeatedly. I assume those are a lot less likely to be fake than positive reviews.

Which review platform do you usually use?
I assume them to be fake, so never use them for making decisions. I might try to get the general feel from them, if there is something obviously wrong it might be visible, but very often I dont even look.
You don't share reviews yourself, do you?
Only to boost a friend.
I only check when I'm considering many options for something where the prices are pretty similar.
