The same type of people answer these as the people who get an email from Amazon or Home Depot about a product they bought with a question like "What are the dimensions" and they answer "I don't know".
And for all time, everyone else is like WTF did you even answer the question if you don't know, it's not like your friend asked you in person, and that is the story of 80% of Q&A's on every product. *SIDE RANT OVER!
- ComputerGuru 5y agoThe emails Amazon sends (or used to send) to randomly selected prior purchasers of a product when there’s a new unanswered question have a subject line along the lines of “David is asking you if xxx, can you help him?” They’re deliberately made to look like personal appeals to the individual specifically, and I don’t blame people for not understanding that it’s disgusting growth/engagement hacking.
- CamperBob2 5y agoTHANK YOU. That explains those maddening "I don't know" answers perfectly. I'm usually reasonably good at imagining the mechanisms behind stupid engagement-hacking phenomena like that, but the question of why people answer questions on Amazon product pages with "I don't know" has stumped me for years.
