I always end up having to go to the full reviews page anyway just to look out for what I like to call the C curve. A bunch of 4 and 5 stars, a few 3, then a big spike at 1 and 2 stars. Usually means that there’s a high failure rate and that a bunch of users got lucky with ones that work or they were fake. This shouldn’t affect much of anything if you’re always verifying, but most customers won’t.
