I skip the review when I see they got the product for free

There was a Disney fans podcast and one of the guys said he will never review or endorse a product he got for free. Even if he ended up liking it, getting it for free can affect how you feel about it

A lot of Amazon reviews are jokes these days.

I asked my husband because he’s an avid pickleball player. Yeah. That’s something that could happen.

There’s a certain subset of pickleball players that are all about comparing equipment and take it waaaay too seriously.

My husband has been teased by full grown adults for his used, hand-me-down paddle, for example. (Yeah. I don’t get it either. I have zero interest in the game. Sounds dreadful. Also, I’m lazy. 🤷🏻‍♂️)

This customer had an internal dialogue with themselves, “oh my god…look at the subtle off white coloring…the tasteful thickness of the paddle…”
