I don't just check the average rating and number of ratings. I also check the quality of reviews. If an unscrupulous company wanted to increase the chances of me buying from them, they might try buying bad fake reviews for their competitors.
- trukterious 8y agoYes. A review that explains why the product is good is harder to fake. Plus the reader may be able to verify independently whether the explanation itself is good. In which case the source no longer signifies.
- benatkin 8y agoYes. I find that the positive reviews are often more useful than the negative reviews. If a positive review is five star but still mentions some negative things, it feels authentic and I can go off of that. This is how I deal with the problem where people won't give anyone less than five stars because they don't want to hurt their livelihoods.
