Well, all of the comments are going to say it's the first thing that worked. It's not going to be the second thing that worked, since once one thing worked the person doesn't need to keep looking for more.
- colpabar 3y agoThe point is that the comments saying it didn’t work won’t be seen.

- therealdrag0 3y agoGood point this could have been better phrased. I think I meant more like "In regards to health, my impression is people talk more about things that worked for them even if they're false positives (placebos, regression to mean etc) than they do about true negatives (things that didn't work)." (This is different than other things like online reviews for products which are more biased towards negative experiences.)
