Sorry for not being on your vocab level... I'm still in high school here...
It's ok! But I'm serious about the dictionary: look up every single word you don't know as you encounter them, then you'll learn them!
Got a tip for us?

I've been watching TV for decades.
I know not to trust something just because it's a video.
I write Amazon reviews too. But only when I have something to say and am very pleased with something. Unless it's constructive criticism, I don't leave a negative review, and would rather skip it.
I made a blog post entitled, "Dear Writers, I dont want to read your book," I bet you can guess what that's about.

I would never review read a book just for reviewing even if it was a sample. I hate reading.
Wow. You really hate reading?? It really is unfortunate. Oh and you're currently reading Lord of the Flies for school, right? How's it going so far? I read it recently and found it to be a compelling read
Anyway, I rarely post reviews on Amazon. I think I've only written two reviews. One is for a classic novel called The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas because I really loved it (and which I think everyone should read). The other is also a review for a book, it was for Blood Song by Anthony Ryan as I also really enjoyed it.

When I am required to read it for school as homework, I use spark notes like lost other people in my class do. Only time I open the book is for projects and class reading.
The book is fine, at the part where the hunters and jack do you know what to a pig.

LOL. Yes, I used to use Spark Notes for Shakespeare when I was in school.
I'm interested to see your Amazon profile. Mind sending me the link?
I've been buying from Amazon for over a decade and can count the number my reviews on one hand (4 reviews total
). I only review if it's something if it's really, really good "best thing since sliced bread" item (Kindle Keyboard) or if it's really, really bad "learn from my mistake" item.
I've done 8 reviews on Amazon in the 10 years I've been purchasing from them. I've gotten mostly positive results from my reviews...

I like reading things like tech news. I don't like reading books mainly. I should have said that.

I have reviewed a few things I have purchased but nothing the level you are talking about! WOW....
I review what I purchase. About 2 reviews a month. I'm definitely not one of those reviewers who posts a 10 paragraph review.
I review everything I purchase, which is on average 1-2 items a month. I generally buy items from Amazon after first checking out the reviews, so I feel I should contribute too.
I'd want a reviewer to disclose if they got the product for free because a large part of the review is value for money. I'd have to take their opinion on that matter with a touch of salt..

Neither am I. I do pros and cons most of the time. I do about 40 reviews a month.

That's what I do I sometimes talk about the price. Like comparing apples wall charger to another one on amazon that I think is a much better value.

Given that you do so many reviews a month, how long do you use a product before you sit down and give a verdict? I find that you aren't able to really know how good a product is until you use it for a few months. What's your philosophy behind what makes a good product, ie function vs durability etc.?

For a cases I say what features it has like a lip of the screen and the feeling if it.
For most products I say all the features, ease of use, how to set it up, price value, specs of usb power like chargers, for speakers I say how loud and how it sounds, Ect.
Takes me around 1-2 hr for a review. Sometimes longer.

That's one of the nice things about Amazon's verified purchase notice. If the reviewer actually purchased the item from Amazon, it will appear at the top of the review. I give those more weight when it comes to making a decision.
It is against the rules. It counts as self promoting. But since you asked for it I believe I can:

Just out of curiosity, at the bottom of your review it says, "I was supplied a sample for test and evaluation, and I promised that my review is fair and honest."
I appreciate that you disclosed this.
But the wording may be a bit misleading. When you say you were supplied a sample for test and evaluation, that could imply that after the test and evaluation you sent your sample back. But from earlier posts, it sounded like you keep the products they send you.
Could you clarify that point?
Thank you.
