Review sites are ONE method of gaining trust from consumers. They provide a useful service. Transparent tours like the ones used by Kink and VideosZ which show the buyer exactly what they get before they signup are another flgood example. Websitesecure.org is another good example. More methods are on the way as well.
There are only two reasons a person will pay for porn currently.
1. Content better than what the can find for free.
2. Confidence that the site provides #1 shown above.
The second reason is becoming increasingly important as more and more consumers get burned by sites with a business model based on faking the first reason.

Damn, I guess it's too bad that review sites weren't around when people were screwed for hundreds of millions of dollars by free sites using dialers. And somehow...we all made fortunes selling porn memberships anyway.
You're right though...if they can find the same content for absolutely free they never will buy. And if they do get caught up by somebody unscrupulous they can simply do a chargeback.
As I said earlier...livereviews.com is an impressive website. Not because it's going to "get the bad guys" But because it shows an un-opinionated view of a paysite. And the execution of it is a great marketing tool in my opinion.
