For most people, the majority of positive reviews are noise on any product and they evaluate them by reading negative reviews.
For once, let’s turn it all upside down:
We should build a collection about how things break - review broken and worn-out products to teach how to identify cheap products (where are the stress points, what manufacturing techniques exist to alleviate those). Then compare those with used products well past their warranty period that hasn’t broken, and look at why they haven’t.
Repairability also comes to mind. Everything breaks eventually because we can’t cheat entropy, but when it does, can you easily repair it?
Use our submission form for all your broken or thrown away products. If you select “Broken” as a condition, questions about the repairability and where the stress points were will show up.
