Do you read reviews before buying almost everything

[FajarVega]

Before buying anything online, I almost always read the reviews first. Sometimes they are helpful and sometimes they just confuse me even more when opinions are mixed.
I still find myself scrolling through them and looking for patterns, especially for things like clothes or household items. How much do reviews influence your decisions.

Not unless it’s something expensive.

Yes I do and then I often can’t decide so don’t buy it at all

Yes, almost always — especially for clothes or anything I can’t see in person. I tend to ignore the extremes and look for patterns, like lots of people mentioning the same flaw or sizing issue.
That said, mixed reviews can send me down a rabbit hole and sometimes I end up overthinking it and not buying anything at all.

I do this too, especially for anything that’s not easily returnable.

I’m the same, I always end up checking the reviews first. If they’re all over the place I just look for the consistent comments because those are usually the real issues. They do influence me a lot though, especially for clothes and anything that might break easily. If something has no reviews at all I usually skip it.
