I use reviews to find the negatives of something, and then decide if that negative bothers me. Filtering out people with an axe to grind can be an art all in itself, but many people are pretty easy to spot.
- smackfu 15y agoYeah, there are two types of reviewers: 1) I review every place I go. 2) I want to punish/warn people about a bad experience. The first type is way more useful, since there is no way to tell whether one person's bad experience is typical or not.
- corin_ 15y agoPossibly much less common, but another type of reviewer which I fit into is "Doesn't bother to review unless a place has been consistently awesome over multiple visits, so much so that I feel they deserve my thanks".
- erehweb 15y agoSure they have. 24 secs into the opening of the Siskel and Ebert TV show, have truck with logo saying "Trust Roger Ebert" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tDdNVHoalJ0 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tDdNVHoalJ0 (O.K., was made up for the show, but illustrates the general principle).
