Do you rely on user reviews when researching something you need to buy?
A bit. I guess that can be fraught with phony users. But a large ratio of positive to negative is helpful to form a notion to buy. As long as the positive ratio isn't baited with phony positives. I don't go by advertising or commercial reviews. They're paid off by and large by the merchandiser I think. Forums can be useful too for good opinions sometimes. Also, some consumer oriented sites can have good insight into the pro's and con's. I tend to get weary of just going through the maize of info. I hemmed and hawed for months buying a smart tv. Checking things out. Finally I just went to Costco and bought one. So far so good.
