I think these review sites are a load of Crap!
A friend alerted me a couple of years ago to negative " Yelp" review. ( seriously, you going to take any notice of something you see on a site with a name like that??)
When I stopped laughing enough to actually find what it was, I found it was from someone I had never dealt with from another country. My friend insisted it was important to have it removed so I contacted them and got an indignant reply that I would have to contact the person that posted the review and ask them to remove it.
I don't know them, how the fk am I going to contact them?
Clearly these sites and the small minded people with too much time on their hands that use them think they are for more important than what they actually are.
I would recommend you give them the exact same credibility and importance I do,
ZERO.
I'm surprised they even exist.
With the overly pedantic legal mentality that appears to exist in the US and people maintaining that you could be held liable for something you show on YT that someone hurts themselves doing, It seems only a matter of time before someone with too much time and a fat bank account sue the backside off one of these sites for real and justifiable reasons.
Surprised they are around at all really and even more surprised anyone puts any faith in something obviously aimed at a rabble rousing mentality audience.
Glad that's something that we don't have here. ...Show more →
Agreed. Pretty much.
The problem is the speed at which technology and pseudo connected-ness has exploded has greatly surpassed humankind's ability to process it and maintain much common sense or critical thinking skills - not that we had a bunch to begin with. It'll be a long time before the nonsense reaches any measure of equilibrium, if ever.
Same old stuff that's always gone on... its scope, accessibility and visibility is just greatly amplified now.
We were a better species when we were monkeys.
If it is different down under, maybe that's why I've always been fond of Aussies.
