Personally I value the truth. I always go to amazon or yelp and look at the negative reviews first. If I see two similar detailed posts, I will know there is a problem.


But often, when I do the same for people, post a detailed review of something that is negative (but not even that negative) people HATE IT.


A hobby I have is posting reviews of movies that don't have a ton of reviews on IMBD. I always try to be detailed and fair and just state the facts.


But I always get "not helpful" votes.


It seems to me most people don't want to know the truth. When I post a positive review (5 stars) I always get a lot of helpful votes.


Just seems odd.
