do you ever leave online reviews?

[emily]

I like leaving online reviews for things I purchase
not so much places I've visited, but I've reviewed mcdonalds.

 

[Smiley]

Nope. I've been taught to keep my opinion to myself, since apparently, humans don't like honesty.

Yes, I'll leave reviews; especially if I'm really favorably impressed with a product.

Very rarely. I've written a couple on amazon and yelp but that was years ago. Seems like a waste of time.

It probably is exactly a waste of time; a lot of the time, though, I will consider 'reviews' before buying something. Realizing, of course, that that source has a great possibility/probability of being inaccurate. And/or written by nutbars.

Yeah and sometimes the positive ones are written by the manufacturers of the products themselves posing as customers. Either that or they hired people to write good reviews on the products.

Sometimes on Google towards restaurants or other business'. I try to leave good reviews to help them out. The bad ones I don't bother because their bad service speaks for itself.

So you only leave positive reviews and no bad ones? Such a gentleman!

I have a goodreads account and on rare occasions I will leave reviews of books that I have just read if that counts. I do get occasional likes on the reciews I do write. I also surprisingly have ten followers. For the 289 books I have as read on my profile I have written reviews for 44 of them. I do want to find the motivation to review more books as I read them though hahaha.

I think I have left a few reviews, but I don't recall how long ago. Typically only positive reviews from me...

 

[Dollhouse]

Sometimes. Either when something is really good or really bad.

 

[Tempt]

Never, even if the product is extremely bad or downright nonfunctional.

Seems like a waste of time doesn't it? ...but I suppose it makes some people feel better to vent.

I think an exaggerated review for attention which would be upvoted to the top, so it's highlighted for everyone to see, would be one use I'd go for.

That is a good possibility.

If you're like me, you skim reviews and look for the good and bad. But I also buy from places that have a good return policy (like amazon, wal mart, costco, ebay). If its not right they'll fix it and give me my money back. Other sites I have struggled to get a refund and been flat out denied.

I sometimes like reading reviews for recreation. As I am curious about what other people think. Although I most commonly do this with books.

You don't recreationally read reviews on mundane things like straws or toothpicks?
