  There are a lot of reasons in here about how bad reviews kill products, but I didn’t see mentioned how exceptional a product has to be to garner GOOD reviews. A business will get to the point of almost harassing you to leave a good review. In my experience people leave reviews when they are unhappy, and say nothing when they are satisfied.

  An example of this was Teenage Engineering K.O. II EP-133 sampler. A bunch got released with broken fader knobs and the wave of bad reviews and complaints flooded in, drowning out the actual pros and cons of the device. T.E. isn’t exactly floundering from it, but in another circumstance that could have killed the product (which I find to be phenomenal).

  I got some advice and I’m still living it so I can’t say if it’s worth it but:

  “Spend money on the things you enjoy and cut everything else to the bare minimum”

  So if you like having a nice house more than going to a sporting event you shouldn’t be budgeting for the sporting event. Just don’t go. If you love great food but hate driving, buy kitchen accessories not dinners. That sort of thing.

  I’m not explaining it as well though
