That's a valuable review though; if a green shirt is not as advertised I want to know that before I buy it.
- ghaff 6y agoYes, but it's pretty much as valuable lumped in with the other shirt reviews whereas if you split out reviews for each individual SKU, many of the items will end up not having reviews at all.
- liability 6y agoIf a particular variation has no review, I want to know that before I buy it. What good is a bunch of 5 star reviews for a red shirt if the lime green shirt I want to buy is actually the color of baby shit?
- tzs 6y agoAmazon could simply have aggregated star totals and reviews, with the ability to select narrower subsets. If I'm looking at a book and worried about quality differences between formats I could ask ask for just reviews from verified paperback purchasers, then from verified hardback purchasers, and then from verified Kindle purchasers. They already allow filtering by verified purchasers. Just add the format filtering, and when viewing through filters show the aggregate star stats for the resulting reviews. This would be close to trivial for them to do and greatly increase the usefulness of reviews with no effect on people who are OK with the current aggregate approach.
