I do not want to invalidate the experiences of others but Its so hard for me to see what they wrote as truth. Like I just dont get it. How do you discern which reviews to pay attention to? How do you know which ones might be real? What if your own experience is vastly different than others- do you doubt yourself?
I use Amazon for product reviews and I am getting better at spotting the fake ones. I have to read through a lot of them to form an opinion. I never knew that places like this had review sites and I find myself thinking that the people who wrote bad ones are troubled, problematic people but then- who am I to think this? I am having a hard time deciding how to feel. I admire, appreciate and rely on this forum so maybe I am biased? Or don't see the bigger picture? Please share your thoughts on reviews, whether forum reviews are fair, and any other review opinion you have.
Thanks,

no I do not read reviews nor go by them. I instead go by my own experiences.
most reviews online are "hired" reviews where a company will hire people to sit at their home computers and post a certain way for money. example a friend of mine used to do these work while staying at home computer jobs where the company hired her to go online do a google search and then post bad reviews on everything but the companys own products, companies own approved listing of treatment providers... then based on how many reviews she posted that day she would get a pay check. she quit the job after just 2 reviews. she couldnt find it in her heart to post bad reviews for products and services she had either never tried or tried and they were actually good and the company she worked for was requiring her to post bad reviews.
