Why are there so many bad reviews online? - Elly - 04-08-2014 07:38 PM
I can't remember how many times I've been disheartened to the point of near despair after reading reviews of crucial items that I needed to get.
(For example, back before I transferred to the generic form of my seizure medication due to cost, I read reviews of them to get an idea of what to expect. It ended up featuring so many accounts of breakthrough seizures that I could barely sleep due to panic.)
The idea that most positive reviews are really plants from the companies only serves to make the ordeals worse.
So what's the deal?

Often people will only take the time to put their input in on something if they have a negative experience. Could be to get out frustration or something.

People tend to give a review if they are either delighted or disappointed. They tend to be disappointed more than they are delighted.

That sucks but usually people will be moved to post a review on something that angered them rather than made them happy.
