That prompts the thought that a website might provide a platform for
reviews of tools, fixings, etc. sent to the webmaster(s) by
manufacturers/importers keen to reach a growing audience.

Well, it seems to work for some pretty odd sites which review IT kit


That only works if you positively review almost everything. And that's impossible unless the reviews are just cobblers.

IMHO the more intelligent reviewers simply shift the scale - much as
NASA did with condoms when they offered astronauts a choice between
"large, gigantic, or humongous" rather than "small, medium, or large".


So not worth having if it's free becomes not the number one. Makes the reviews of no value.
