I’d assume the difference is probably down to owners using the products for an extended period of time compared to reviewers.

Well yeah, users actually have a product for hopefully years while reviewers just check it out for a week or 2.

It’s interesting to think that reddit is by its very nature a more negative platform. I’d say that holds outside of just product reviews tho. I feel so bad for people trying to learn a challenging hobby on reddit. I often tell new people to bolt for the fediverse before wasting time with your new hobby’s smartest misanthropes.
