So as a millennial living in 2019... I noticed that I put probably too much importance on review... anime review, movie reviews, amazon product reviews, app reviews, restaurant reviews... like if something exists I'm sure there's a review of it.

I noticed I also tend to write a few reviews... mostly restaurants and movies, but yeah it got me thinking like do other ppl really care that much about reviews? How often do you look at a review before you purchase something and how likely are you to review something?

i usually just wing it or go by word of mouth/recommendations from others. i hardly ever feel the need
to read a review, especially since they're often grossly biased (if it's on a show or whatever). but if we're
talking tech products or like an appliance, i'll probably read a review before purchasing it. and i hardly ever
review anything, i just don't feel the need to give my opinion on things except to close friends or if someone asks.

When it comes to anime, I'll normally take a look at the comment reviews to see just positive the product impacted people. Sometimes these reviewers will even share things that are not so hot about the item, rather than just straight saying how great the product is. This allows me to make a more concise decision before I go to finalize the purchase of that given product.

I usually don't buy stuff from Amazon or Newegg if that something is under 4-stars, but then again these are the only 2 places where I shop online, so yes I do care and read reviews before I buy something.

When it comes to games, I pirate them first, then play them and if I like it then I buy it(so I don't read any reviews), but (Lol) the only games that I've actually bought since 2003 were <Underrail> and <Pathfinder: Kingmaker>, that's actually says something, that gaming industry went to shit when consoles became a 'thing' with their mindless crap games.

As for Anime reviews > I don't care, Manga reviews?! > I just read it and if I like it then I like and if I don't like the first few chapters then I quit reading, simple.

Don't care about reviews when it comes to buying or investing time into something. After I'm done with it I check out reviews to see what other people have to say about it though.

In a world of so many products (be it anime/movies or toothpaste) , Is there a better way to find the good ones other than listening to the opinions of people who already tried them?
I'm glad so many people are doing reviews , Everyone's opinions matter.

if i'm buying a product online, i'll definitely look at reviews since there's no other/better way for me to judge whether the item is worth my money.

in regards to anime, i don't really look at the reviews on here as to help me decide whether to watch a show or not (though there's some pretty amusing reviews out there, and i enjoy reading those). if i like a premise, i watch it. i can always drop it later after all.

Most are major pussies who don't like hearing about anything that counters their faulty opinion. Bit different with purchasable products, but the same notion can still be applied (to an extent).
