I think this is good advice, but I'd be skeptical of responses saying "I'd look at it, but it wouldn't influence my decision at all". That's like when people say "advertising doesn't influence me at all".

Yeah true, there's probably an influence at least inconspicuously. Similarly to hire you get biased because of a name, a photo, or other information. Maybe your point is also what Louis in his quote is pointing at:

"Websites are cool and look nice but they open the door for more interpretation and criticism because they’d naturally form an opinion."
