Forums, blogs and communities create a kind of collective memory for shoppers. Taking a few minutes to research before buying can save a lot of money and frustration. For things that I use every day, I prefer to pay a bit more if the quality is stable. At least here we can see more honest opinions and not only polished marketing content.
If anyone is interested in real user experiences, I sometimes write short notes about the shops I test.

Some pieces look shiny online but feel like plastic when you open the package. If a deal looks too good to be true, it usually has some kind of catch. When every picture has different colors or extreme filters, it is usually a bad sign. Otherwise they become clutter in the closet after the trend is over. Reviews that mention long term use are more valuable than comments written on day one. Whenever I find something that actually works well, I tend to reorder it later. If they reply politely and give detailed answers, I feel more relaxed. Forums, blogs and communities create a kind of collective memory for shoppers.
Maybe this is useful for someone.
