An ad that showed up as I was browsing through the news. Bloody ridiculous...
You're viewing a single thread.
So, everyone else finds a product with only 5 star reviews to be suspicious, right?
My strategy is to skim the 1-2 star reviews to see if they have any legitimate complaints or if its just personal bullshit.
Extra fun when the reviews are for some other product.
Product: A sock
Review; 4/5 this didn't come with batteries like the description said it would, but the motor works great for my model car.
Oh absolutely. Fuckin scumbags.
Yeah like "flashlight is pretty bright but the switch quit after 2 months" and if I see several reviews talling about failed switches I kmow what's up. A good product will have a 1 star review talking about "flashlight tastes terrible and hurt my teeth."
After 6 months I decided I no longer liked the color but they wouldnt let me return it 😡
App said package delivered but it never came
"USB Battery is very large, but takes very long to charge all the way." on a battery that supports both USB-Micro and USB-C Fast Charging.
Fast charging refuses to work in my car 👎
Could be any number of things from the charger not being USB-C PD to the sun overheating your phone and causing the safeties to stop or slow down the charging. I haven't actually found a car charger with a buckboost converter in it to provide higher voltages even when the circuit board is available online for hobby projects.
"I fell on it, and it went right up my ass. 10/10 would fall again."
"SENT ME TO ER, and denied return. I don't know why guys enjoy flashlights so much for "playtime", but this one ain't it, had to go to er when gf got a little too rough with it."
Awesome product, but delivery took too long so now I can't gift it to my kid for his birthday. 1 star.
It depends. If it is 2 reviews it might be real, if it is 200 it is extremely unlikely.
Even 2 reviews is kinda sketchy, because it means the listing for that memory foam keyboard wrist rest is either scrubbed of negative reviews, or it's only been up for a few days because it's a shit product that has been sold under 804 different brand names in the past four years; they just switch up the branding every time someone gets the message through that the wrist rest is made out of leaded asbestos and it makes your lungs antisocial which is just another way of scrubbing negative reviews.
