Google announces product reviews algorithm update - April 8, 2021

Interesting. This is good in theory for anyone writing lengthy unique content. However the 'expert knowledge' part still makes me think this is google saying they will promote authority sites above all else regardless.
 
My Rankings haven't gone down, but the amount of traffic is about 20% less for the past couple of days which is weird.

Hoping it's just a little phase until it bounces back. If not, we will see the top-ranking sites and how we should be optimizing our content.

In the end, it should create better product reviews overall which would be nice as looking for stuff online now and seeing how bad people write is just irritating.

The SERPs are still getting shuffled around. My guess is that Google isn't indexing pages while they are still doing testing.
