> But they may still work in the old-fashioned "strong signal way" This is a good point and does affect me to varying extent. I would say strong signaling is the least effective for certain food items, mouthwash, toothpaste, vitamins, etc. where the makeup and price of the item is simple and comparable between brand names and off-brands. Where there are sufficient trustworthy reviews of items, it is also less effective. When it's something I need quickly or when the tolerance for failure is low, I'm much more likely to default to a peacock type of product that's established itself.
