Yup. Recently bought an affordable mechanical keyboard without consulting any review websites. Am very happy with it for about a month. Then I went to Amazon to see the reviews, out of curiosity. They are very negative for the product I am very satisfied with. Had I done due diligence, I would have lost a bunch of cash for a mere marginal improvement which none but connoisseurs can discern.

I think there are a few things in life we must decide carefully - like a partner, which doctor to consult etc. Reading reviews for most of the other stuff is overthinking, and pointless.
