My buddy swears his 2019 "don't trust reviews" rule is wisdom, and I think it's the worst take I've heard this year
We were grabbing lunch in Denver last Tuesday and he goes, "Reviews are all fake, so I never read them, I just go with my gut." That gut call got him a $340 repair bill when the shop he picked had a two star rating he never checked. But here is the other side, half the five star reviews I read sound like the owner wrote them while eating lunch. So who is right here, should we fake-call every business on the block, or just trust the gut and hope for the best? I honestly think his rule is worse than the fake reviews it is trying to dodge. What is the wildest "don't trust the internet" rule you have heard someone defend with a straight face?
