My favorite is when some confused soul leaves a long winded, deeply critical review of a completely unrelated product.

[@JessicaKennedy367]

​@@vicepresidentmikepence889 Yes, just like that.

[@Gibbrony]

That could be due to the company running a scam to inflate the rating. They will list a product, get some good reviews and then they will replace the product, description, photos with something else using the same page. That way the review ratings are kept. A lot of people don't bother reading all the reviews, just the very top ones and look at the star average.

[@bucketofsunshine6366]

This is especially true with computer printers. It's 50% one star reviews and 50% five star reviews with no in-between. I give the shopping experience one star and I'd give it zero if I could. Just terrible.

[@kimi9572]

@@bucketofsunshine6366 I think the reasoning for that is that if someone is very unsatisfied with a product, they'll be more likely to write a review and express their opinion. Those having a great time with the product won't even bother giving it a review.

[@ragdoll86]

I always check the 1 and 5 star reviews and see which ones seem more realistic 😂 if all 1 star reviews mention the same issue then I won't buy it. If all 5 star reviews seem to praise it a bit too much, I don't trust their reviews fully 😂

The coffee shop near my house got a 1 star review because they were closed that day. That's been their day off for 15+ years lol

[@FrankJames]

that reviewer's life has been ruined

[@snowangelnc]

My brother's used bookstore got a 1 star because "it was too organized." Apparently being able to find what you're looking for takes away all of the challenge. The reviewer made sure to mention that the bookstore he used to frequent back when he was a student at Duke University was so much more fun and quirky.

[@AdorableOracle]

My hot yoga studio got one star because it was hot…

[@linmonPIE]

Hooray for all the retired ISTJs and INTJs who make it their mission to write perfectly detailed reviews for the rest of us… even if they are novel length.

[@AniWho268]

This is actually nice to see, because I always feel so guilty about how long and detailed my posts are. I rarely ever write reviews, but when I have to, I always feel so guilty and incompetent because I can't seem to write it in a concise way. I find it difficult to shorten it without losing information that I think should be included. So, this is nice to see lol.

[@linmonPIE]

@@AniWho268 Thank you for your service 🫡 lol. There have been times when I wanted to know something about a product but no one else talked about it except the person who wrote the long review. Those reviews get 5 stars in my book ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Wondering how everyone around me writes summarized and concise things, meanwhile I’m dragging things out for myself and I can’t seem to help it. But there’s definitely a place for us, and while it may seem like a weakness it just shows our ability to understand things on a whole different level. Which this world needs just as much as concision, no more and no less.

[@AniWho268]

@@chopin7788 Yes lol! I've literally wondered the same thing "how are their comments so short and summarized???" I get so frustrated bc as you said, I can't seem to help dragging my comments out. I really like the different perspective though: we really do understand things on a different level. 💯

Why is reading reviews online always like this now? It's like you go down a rabbit hole trying to decide which product to buy, but all the reviews are either fake or stupid...

[@homerman76]

Because people have come to love trolling, and the other half are idiots who don't get the point of a review system

[@sarahberkner]

I would recommend looking at the low reviews and seeing if there is a theme, and if that thing is something you can live with, like is it a scam or was part of their food cold because the place was busy?

As a person who reads reviews, I agree with everything in this video! 😂 My favorite is reading bad reviews on hotels. I read one review that left a 1 star just because the furniture was a little too outdated for their preference. Or the people who leave 1 star because the weather was bad 😂 Hotel reviews should 100% be the next video in this series 😂

[@hannahk1306]

​@@sarahberkner There's a review of (I think) Ben Nevis that no-one can work out if it's real or a joke - it's hilarious though! Basically it's complaining that there's a lot of difficult walking (it's a mountain); there's no facilities at the top (unlike Snowdon / Yr Wyddfa); and it was foggy when they eventually got to the top, so the view was rubbish and then they still had to walk down again!

[@pilvi6246]

You forgot the 1 star review that says "I don't know if it's good, because it never arrived", while they continue to complain about the customer service of the company who made it, not realizing they have to go through amazon to solve the problem.

[@FrankJames]

ah yes, those people are so dumb lol

[@unmitigatedgall8732]

My word! I thought perhaps I was the only person who got this intense about the state of their toaster. Thank you for highlighting the seriosity of this issue sir. When I couldn't get my toaster to do anything at all last week...I fell heavily to the kitchen floor in sobbing despondency. You can thus imagine my sheer joy when I realized that it wasn't working b/c I had, like, simply unplugged it to use the outlet for something else... Hallelujah!

😂😂😂 So true! "I haven't tried yet" are the worst! 😂😂

[@hannahk1306]

Especially in the question section - don't answer the bloody question if you don't know the answer! I swear most of the responses are from people who haven't seen the product for various reasons, including because it has arrived yet, they haven't opened it yet and (my favourite) it was a gift for someone else...

[@kaylenc05]

The second review must be an INTJ, talking about the toaster like it is his worst enemy and ruined his life hahahah. And the grandma trying to play cupid but failing 😂. This is hilarious, thanks for the awesome content FJ.

[@snowangelnc]

1 Star: I specifically told my mail carrier that I would be leaving for vacation on Friday. The idiot forgot - again! - and left the package sitting there on my front porch. This is the third time he's done that. It was left to sit out there all weekend and ended up being stolen by a porch pirate, so I'll never know whether the toaster is any good or not. This is so infuriating, I'd give zero stars if I could!

[@st6290]

The other day my father was telling me how important it is to communicate with the people working with you and giving them a good rating so they will remember you. He showed me a 5 star rating he made months ago and how it was still at the top of the list… I didn’t have the heart to tell him that it was only because he was signed into his account so it showed his first.

[@AniWho268]

This is so accurate, I've seen so many reviews of people who leave a review, but they bought the product for someone else. Also, the people who just got the product, haven't used it yet, but leave a five start review. It's so annoying. Where are the personal reviews of the product, so that I can make a decision???

I kid you not, I finished a coding freelance job, the client was perfectly satisfied, but gave me 4/5 stars. I asked "Why did you give me 4 not 5? Is there anything that wasn't as perfect as you wished it to be? Just asking so I can do better next time." He said: "No, sorry, I cannot think of anything that could have been more perfect. I don't know why I selected 4 instead of 5." (If, by some astronomical coincidence, you're reading this, it's okay, I'm not actually upset, it's just funny, in a sad way.)
