Personally, I use the negative reviews much more than the positives. Especially on business reviews on Angie's List or book reviews on Amazon, I get a lot more info from the negatives. The company itself is usually able to tell me the positives. I don't let a few negatives rule out my business, but it allows me to compare more accurately between alternatives.
- ed209 14y agoIf I'm in planning mode and I don't know where I should go eat burgers on Friday, I don't want to know where _not_ to go, I want to know where I should go. Of course, if I want to look a specific place or product, pos and neg reviews are useful.
- pavel_lishin 14y agoBut if you're in a "I'm moving across the country" mode, a negative review of a moving company may be worth much more than a positive review. (Possibly $2,000 more, in this case.)
