The problem is that we don't have a great indicator of quality other than price. Why do I think the $30 or $50 will be better? It probably is, but I have no way

The problem is that we don't have a great indicator of quality other than price. Why do I think the $30 or $50 will be better? It probably is, but I have no way to tell if I am getting a better quality product or basically the same just sold at a higher price. It is hard to decide to take this "risk" when you don't know.
Trusted reviews and recommendations can solve this but they are hard to come by.
- PaulKeeble 6y agoIt has become increasing difficult to find good reviews too. The use of affiliate links means there are a lot of affiliate link farm sites now that do top 10 product listings and sometimes they make really hard to determine if they know what they are talking about or not. You can waste a lot of time trying to find real roundup reviews that aren't just affiliate link scam sites on search engines.
- RandallBrown 6y agoThere's lots of indicators of quality on the amazon page beyond the price and reviews. Look at the title. It's just restating generic "drone" SEO nonsense over and over. There's not even a real name of the product. The photos of the item are pretty clearly photoshopped stock imagery. The description is full of grammatical and punctuation errors. The brand has no online presence beyond its Amazon listings. It doesn't even have its own Amazon brand page. It may be asking too much of the general consumer to look at these signals, but they seem pretty obvious to me.
