Internet reviewers
First thing I have to say: Shut the fuck up.Suddenly it hits me; the time I have wasted reading utter shite left on the internet by complete fuckwits.
Once you've shut the fuck up, ask yourself, am I qualified to write this?
If not it's just noise that wastes everyone's time. Including yours.
It's everywhere, from entire websites built on the premise of expertise which does not exist, right down to Amazon reviews.
Okay, it's Amazon reviews which bug me most. The other's are much easier to spot. At Amazon you can be ten or twelve words deep into a "review" before you realise that this is a fool typing, eating your time.
I JUST WANT TO KNOW IF THESE BATTERIES ARE ANY GOOD! OKAY!
Five stars! Great product. I haven't tried it yet but I'm sure they will be fine. Dog loves the packaging
This is the level of information most Amazon reviewers work at. You could srcoll through 150 "reviews" and not find a single person who even considered actually testing the batteries properly. It's not rocket science.
I've been using eneloop's in my Fujifilm S5600 for a for five years now with great results, but they are fading. While not *quite* as good as the eneloops (when new), these batteries are pretty good (maybe 90% of the longevity) and half the price. In my smart charger they are showing anywhere between 1800 and 2100 mAh capacity, which is ball-park for the advertised (2000 mAh) capacity. I'm happy.
That's the sort of review *I* leave.
IT IS NOT TWITTER! So it won't be ignored, but pored over by real people looking for items for their lives.
Stop wasting our time!
