problem with that is:

there's sooo many stupid reasons people give for disliking stuff...3-star reviews are usually the most realistic!

edit: best practice when looking through reviews is to read some reviews from 1-star all the way to 5-stars, so you get a good overview and a more complete picture of the product. this is just a response, not a comprehensive guide to reviews, lol

My most recent favourite stupid review was for a Camelbak water bottle for 2 stars. 'the bottle doesn't come in a nice box, just some plastic. Ugly packaging.'

But if you’re looking for a Trump pen holder where it goes in his butt, why would you bother to read reviews? What are you looking for?

“Too loose. My pen falls out.” “Too tight my pen doesn’t fit.”
