Reviewers are scared to post bad reviews, because they might not get the next product from that company. Doesn’t mean that they’ll post a fake good review, more often they just bury it and don’t post anything. I know of a few audio journalists who have admitted to doing just that. If a product isn’t any good, they just don’t post a review. It’s why there’s so few bad reviews out there.
