I just filter out what I can based on my own needs. But it is def annoying when you are researching an Amazon product or something and you basically have a PhD on the subject by the end of it because of all the mixed reviews on everything. I think you were the one who may have said something similar some time ago

I'm completely incapable of just buying a thing I like. I need to research it as much as possible to find out if it's the thing I want or if I need a slightly different version. Sometimes this works out well, a lot of the time it just creates a lot of unnecessary stress.
