One way to look at what you've done is authenticated the source of your reviews. They're not anonymous people behind a fake username.Yet another reason that the legitimate press still wins over the internet rabble.
I follow a couple of professional movie reviewers who have been doing it since before the internet took off, and their reviews are almost always better than the dross online.
The same is true for books. The New York Times book review, for example, is so good and trusted that you can actually subscribe to it separately, without getting the rest of the newspaper.
