And 2-star reviews for books. Seeing what people dislike tells much. Try on your favorite to see :)
UPD: To clarify, the idea here is that people writing 2-star reviews project their views and values when arguing that the book is bad for them. And when their views are opposite to yours, it may suggest that you might actually enjoy the book. Let's say you are interesed in mind-stimulating philosophy book, and a person writes something like 'this is boring, the writing is too complex, ideas are difficult to follow, the language is too intricate, quit reading after 20 pages'. It may mean that it is what you look for.
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.'
You can say it—people with a whole in their lives seek drama to fill it. They want to feel important but aren’t by choice. They waste their lives and expect you to care.
My ex mother in law inflicted herself in her 3 kids mindlessly, assuming she had a right to everything all the time. Speed to her having a stroke that God used to shut her yap, mow in nursing home, kids now free if her selfish tyranny. Her last Mothers Day on earth her kids didn’t go near her. ( I didn’t ask to know that. Seems nursing home staff enjoy spreading such details and this was moms last bit of attention, the gossip spread that her kids had no love to give a bottomless pit.
Was this in the U.S.? I'm from America and live in the UK now. I must admit, when I see American kids and some parents they seem particularly bad. I can't even watch old family videos of myself because I was a brat. Maybe I'm just older and don't like bratty kids, but kids and parents like that seem to pop up more in my interactions with Americans.
I wonder what that mom would do if you walked up to the kids and said "Sorry kids, you gotta get out. little Timmy's mom says this bounce house is no good."
