Real life, related example: Literally before buying my last vacuum, I went on YouTube and found a few vacuum reviewing SPECIALISTS who have tried/used and compared an enormous amount of vacuums over the years, and pit them against each other in multiple different ways in almost a shootout style. I wasn’t placing much weight on reviewers who just bought one vacuum and reviewed it, I wanted to get the opinion of someone who has used more vacuums than I’ve ever seen in my life. I didn’t want to pay attention to the review of one person who has only owned one vaccum before and it’s like “Yup, this works great”… I’m sure it does, but how does it compare to all the ones you didn’t try/buy? That’s exactly what I want from a review, a well informed opinion based on comparison from other products.
I don’t know why this is so controversial lol… it’s been said time and time again by ultra well respected people within our community:
There’s obviously more where that came from as this has been a discussion for a long time - my opinion is nothing new. I think it just strikes a nerve with those who are newer.
And one last thing…
I do agree with this very heavily, it’s a huge problem with yoyo reviews specifically. Because:
So yeah… I guess my point is that no matter what way you want to mentally arrive at yoyo reviews being pointless is… at the end of the day they’re pretty pointless lmfao
