A while back my mom asked me to look up reviews for a doggie doormat. There was a good mix of positive and negative reviews. The positive reviews basically said “This thing works great!”. The negative reviews basically said “This thing works great, but the color is ugly”.
I agree particularly since reviews don’t always apply to just one version or edition of a product, so you’re left wondering which one they’re complaining about. In any case, I’d award a 5-star movie the 5 stars, and then explain any technical complaints in the review since many people don’t really care much about such things and just want to know if it’s a worthwhile movie.
If they aren’t putting seller complaints in the product reviews, then they’re putting product complaints in the seller feedback, or maybe some people do both.
I did a lot of research for my koi pond equipment through Amazon, until I realized that everyone there has no idea what they talk about.
The one sthat really cracked me up were the reviews for a filter. It’s rated for 2000 gallons. The reviewers don’t all list their pond size, but one guy’s is bigger in gallons and the other two list fish loads that seem awfully high for 2000 gallons. (They also list fish load in number of fish and not size of fish). One person says it is perfect and wonderful and the other two say that it’s awful. But… people, come on… NONE of you are following the manufacturer’s instructions! And none of you are providing measures of your pond that mean anything!
What’s next? “I bought this four-seater convertible, but it can’t take my son’s soccer team to their next game like my old minivan could.”
I was looking for room rates at a well known North Ga. family style, farm to table restaurant that also has some overnight accomodations. The place has been around for at least 75 years and serves fantastic southern food. On the restaurant review page one woman had gone ballistic posting comments about the ham being way too salty and tough and management not doing anything about it other than telling her “That is how is always is!” She simply could not believe they stayed in business without knowing how to prepare ham.
Um, it’s called “country ham”, AKA salt cured ham. It’s how folks in the south cured and kept meat in the days before refrigeration. Salt pulls the moisture out of the meat, which gives it a tough texture almost like jerky. Oh, yeah, salt also has the effect of making the meat salty. Funny how that works. I, for one, prefer country ham over city ham (usually sugar cured) but can see how it wouldn’t be everyone’s cup of tea. Do, however, learn about what you are eating before you declare the chef incompetent and management unresponsive.
