     @arstechnica “reputation for quality”

     Now if you’ll excuse me, I need to sift through 1,000 one-word, five-star reviews for a product so I can try to determine if this thing is the actual thing or just a knock-off of the thing I want.*

     (*I’m joking; I stopped using Amazon years ago)
