Critics and you

Critics don't sway my opinion too much. If I do read them, it's more for additional information on interesting books, food and movies. If I am curious, I might check it out.

 

Professional reviews have much more value to me than trolls on the internet tbh

 

Critics tend to dislike anything with special effects.

 

I never read them before or after I have bought or played or listened to anything, I value other's opinions but they never sway my own, if I dislike something it will be due to my own experience rather than fallowing the hate train. Only time I read anything like a "review" is when buying a product I am not sure of, helps form an idea of the performance of said item.
