For items purchased online only, I try to. I tend to buy on AliExpress and the photos don’t always do justice to the product. It’s very helpful to see the experiences of others when making a purchase.
Interestingly I have had many experiences which resulted in products better than expected, and if I see this trend of comments on a product I’m undecided, I’ll probably be swayed to purchase. The opposite is true when the reviews denounce a product or seller as a scam.
Other than that I will give my opinion on other products if someone asks. Say for example someone on Lemmy asked about vacuum cleaner recommendations, or wondering about a specific phone model I once had, I would chime in with my personal experience.
TLDR yes whenever possible, because you can’t always trust the seller to be honest. You need an impartial opinion.
