It’s probably best to ignore reviews and just shop based on critical reviews or recommendations from friends. And even then it is better to purchase directly from manufacturers rather than risk getting counterfeits. I’m not sure what value middlemen like Amazon add other than fast delivery, which most people can live without.
- dkdk8283 5y agoThree star reviews are all you should read these days. It’s typically unbiased / unemotional and objective. 1 and 5 star reviews don’t tend to be reliable.
- throwawaysea 5y agoI had started doing this inadvertently with book reviews, but I think you’re right that this practice can apply to most products.
- donmcronald 5y ago> shop based on critical reviews There’s nothing critical about them anymore. They’re all affiliate marketing sites. Have you noticed there are no bad products anymore? Their only goal is to convince you to buy something. There’s no expertise. RIP johnnyguru.com :-(
