I read the one-star reviews and ask "do these people sound like they're complaining about the product itself, or something else?" (For example, if you're buying books that somebody could conceivably be assigned in school, you'll see one-star reviews that are really reviews of a class they didn't like pretending to be a review of a book.)
- dmoy 3y agoTrue, or my personal favorite useless 1 star reviews: "The box was damaged [by UPS/FedEx] when it was delivered" "I didn't know I would have to assemble [this piece of furniture with four screws]" "This [completely different] product sucks" (though to be fair, this one is probably on the merchant for swapping out products under the hood to preserve ratings) My favorite of all time though is the "this product does exactly what it should do, but I didn't want it to do that, even though that was what it was advertised to do, and that's the only purpose for this entire product category - one star". E.g. there was one for a l-cystine based dough conditioner, where someone left a one star review claiming that, get this, it made the dough extensible, and they didn't want that because they were making a pie or something. Incidentally, I understand why they don't sell raw l-cystine dough reducer to random consumers, because people would literally kill themselves with it.
