I want to start telling all these companies to leave me the f*** alone. I bought their product and I didn’t complain I didn’t return it. Isn’t that good enough for them??

      I never trust reviews on first-party sites. However, reviews on other sites can be very helpful. Maybe not yelp lol.

        I still find ratings/reviews on Amazon to be at least somewhat useful. A horrible product generally won’t have a 4.8-5.0 rating

          By “first-party” here, I mean sites that make the product they’re selling. Like I wouldn’t trust the reviews on Samsung’s website for a Samsung phone. Amazon is separate enough that the conflict of interest isn’t really there, but Amazon reviews are so targeted by illegitimate reviews that they’re not S-tier trustworthy.

            Ah, makes sense then. I was considering Amazon as first party but now I see that I am wrong because this concept of buying directly from the producer was a bit alien to me
