A Better Way to Encourage Real Reviews and Photos?

I have to wonder if there's a better way to encourage real reviews and product photos on here, versus the current system of offering store credit for each. As it is, there's an incentive to quickly throw up content-free reviews and unhelpful photos, just to get credit for the next purchase. Customers wind up having to scroll through pages of reviews containing no more than the words "good" and "nice," or photos that are either stolen from the listings themselves or pointless, like unopened shipping boxes. Neither really helps people make purchasing decisions, and it's a chore to scroll through all of those when looking for real feedback. Don't get me wrong; I've enjoyed getting store credit, and made use of it often. I don't want to see it go away altogether. And a manual review of reviews would probably take way too much manpower to be worth it. But there has to be some way we can earn credit for real reviews and product photos, that doesn't also encourage post after identical post of "quality!" and screencaps of Drop's own product renders.

TrizzYou get points, and points add up to discounts on future purchases. If you buy something, you get prompted to submit a photo and a review to earn points.

Thanks for the explanation. I appreciate that!
