Absolutely agree. 5-star reviews are cheap to buy in bulk anyway so I don't trust them.

8 Best Places To Buy Google Reviews (Updated List)

My own preference is to go through the 1 and 2-star reviews looking for patterns. Any company can have a bad product slip through quality control and reach a customer. But a company that lets 15 products with the same problem get to customers likely has poor QC. I also check those low-star reviews for replies from a customer service rep. Like I said, any company can have a bad product reach a customer. What the company does when that happens makes a world of difference.

I once had an air fryer that had a switch stop working within a month of buying it. When I contacted the company, they had me cut the power cord and send them a picture of the fryer showing the cut cord, and immediately sent out a new one which has worked perfectly ever since.

It's also crazy that "5 stars" has become "meets expectations", and anything less than 5 stars is immediately suspicious. But, anything with all 5 stars is also suspicious.

A place to post memes & images that won't absolutely obliterate your mental health! Memes must not stray into hopelessness and be generally positive or neutral.

I made this with my kid in mind, so that they can have a good, safe place to look at memes, just made to make folks laugh and smile!

Only goofs & silliness. (:
