That’s the power of measurement and standards. As long as Crin is consistent, his data is useful.

As long as he's consistent you know what to expect from a product based on his opinion. If you know what he likes and you know what you like you should still be able to make an educated guess based on those.

Honestly, I don't look at his rankings at point. I just go and find groups/ forums with similar tastes and go from there. No need to pay/ subscribe for him to give me recs. That said, still respect his overall work.

Um I'm not sure if that makes sense. If you both agree that x, y, z are bad but he hates one thing you love, you really have no way of knowing if the headphones he rates poorly are ones you'd like just from his ranking.

With proper stuff it's almost never 'good' or 'bad'. But if you know the reviewer tends to favor a slightly more bassy FR than you, or generally downplays the comfort. Then you can look at their review and have a good idea of how your opinion on said headphone would be.
