I stopped paying any attention to reviews on Amazon when I noticed that the item being described in some reviews had nothing at all to do with the one currently in the listing (something more like trash can vs curtain rod, not different sizes, configurations, or colors). Once I noticed this, it seemed really common, which means only a review which explicitly describes the item entirely could possibly be relevant, and then I have to worry if the seller laundered the item to enter "verified purchase" reviews... so reviews on Amazon are now a worthless waste of space.
- kortex 5y agoI've started adding to my reviews "I purchased the N-pack of color frobbing widget with feature ..." for exactly this reason. It's gotten really bad. Recently saw one which was a water filter assembly that was formerly a totally different kind of plumbing fitting (single part, nothing to screw up).
