I am fine if someone says that but prefaces all of it with "in my experience".

I will rave about the **** I've bought if it's good, but I wont immediately say everything else was ****.
Can we get them to build the Alps ten feet higher and get Cherry to pay for it?

Really depends on the source, I've had some fantastic recommendations from people online. All it takes is a modicum of research and an eye for spotting the obviously retarded to see if their recommendation bears any weight. To outright dismiss all outside advice is doing yourself a disservice. Perhaps you ARE one of those people who think they have all the answers which is why you don't take advice from others? (not anyone specific ITT, just an overarching statement)

I've come to realize that I now block out most positive reviews of products online—at least initially—since I'm never sure how much experience with other products someone has or how sincere they are.

So after narrowing down the features I'm after I trawl through negative reviews/impressions and consider the product with the least amount of known issues, taking into account that people who encounter issues are likelier to complain about them.

I haven't eaten Popeyes because they don't have them in Ireland but I'm reliably informed it's deteriorated since you became vegan after being bought out by Burger King.

This happens here like every other day when someone makes another frankenstein switch that's almost uncreatable and costs $3 each.

But they're the best and everything else is garbage.
