Jokes on them, I never look at 5 or 1 star reviews. By convention I think rating systems are fundamentally flawed in that they are anything but a ubiquitous concept. The people struggling to piece together how they feel about something in a binary construct generally have the most insightful comments. There's no way to stop someone from gaming the system though. If the economic incentive is to cheat, cheaters gonna cheat. Eventually plugins like FakeSpot will become as common as ad blockers, imo.
- red2awn 6y agoThat's my approach as well, the 4 star reviews are usually the most informative.
- Firehawke 6y agoI try to take 1, 4, and 5 into account with mine. I mostly discount 5s but it's still good to see what people are saying. 4 will let you know what issues the product really has, and 1 will give you an idea of how frequently the product breaks or arrives broken.
