If I'm understanding this correctly, you're going to need a LOT of user ratings before the rating content is worthwhile to most people.

Maybe focus the site on capturing ratings to start instead of sharing ratings for products that don't have many ratings (visual studio appears to be highest rated product with 2 ratings).

If you just showed me two related products and had me click on my favorite, I'd probably do that 10 times for no good reason.

do what reddit did and just fake a ton of content and try and egg the fanbois into a ratings war

Looks done to me, no need to lose more time. Just needs a business model.

Best business model for you is "managed content", allow companies to disguise their own ads as ads for your site. I.E. car company pays you to generate a "which is better" between two of their car models and embed it into an ad.
