I’ve never been overly reliant on a single review source. I’ve never trusted a single site enough to do that. I tend to always look to as many review sites or sources as possible. I’ll look at forums, MassimoL, Youtube, relevant magazine and rating sites, general search on that product, blogs, other storefront reviews, and also Amazon.
Hey I use Fakespot and it’s awesome for finding fake review clusters. Here: https://www.fakespot.com/company/KOIOS/ Paste that URL in and there’s a search box, paste the url to the item you want in there and it’ll analyze the reviews.
BTW if you go directly to fakespot . com you’ll only get the option to download the extension. KOIOS is a product I was analyzing before and I left it in the URL because I couldn’t find the online fakespot search page without a prompt to download the extension—-I’ve had that page bookmarked a LONG time and it seems they’ve started hiding it better to focus on their extension. Just bookmark the page.
Just read the worst reviews.
I usually read the bad reviews first, if I see re-occurring themes, or if the worst “bad experience” is more than I want to risk happening to me I don’t buy the product.
They can pay a million people to shill the product. If 5-10 people say the same terrible shit about it I won’t buy lol
As long as they’re not censoring legit people this strategy should work.
