he completely ignored/didn't realize that a review site get upwards of 75-90% of their sales from people who come to their site to see if something they found it worth it
ie see a gallery -> go to the site -> go to the review site -> go back to the site -> buy
if the review site gave everyone great reviews or covered up hidden gotcha like streaming only
those surfers would goo to a different more "honest" review site in step3 and the revenue from that transaction would be gone forever.

This illustrate perfectly how the "marketing" has worked. Basically the surfer doesn't believe it. Many need to check out what the gallery promised against what the review sites says. By a review site giving an honest appraisal of the site, they pick up customers loyalty, which has clearly been lost by the TGP site. Not all surfers but a significant amount.
Whose to blame, the Gallery owner, site or review site?

Is that your best shot? Rather than discuss you ridicule. Sign of failure.

True, that IS the review site theory, how it's supposed to work. But I also think people get to review sites from Google, from other review sites and so on. The problem really occurs, I think, when someone goes TO THAT PAYSITE, which has the recip link to the review. The surfer clicks the review and gets a so-so or even bad review, and it's like that paysite is advertising the fact that their site sucks. LOL
A smart review site peruser will note - and THIS is really the #1 issue with review sites - that 95% of the sites get "so-so" reviews while - SHOCK! - the review site's "Top Ten" are all Brograms who paid the review site to cook the books, so to speak. Therefore a review site reader reads review A, which is a 67 out of 100, then sees fucking Reality Kings (?) as #2 with a 98 out of 100.
Review sites are like see-saws, which never see (or saw). LOL Everything is slanted towards a handful of sites so good "honest" websites get exploited.

A review site giving a dishonest review loses it's main resource, customers loyalty. They get 1 or 2 sign ups from the same customer and then he realises he's being fed a crock of shit and moves on.
Why do people still think customers are fools?
I've seen the traffic and conversion rates from review sites over the years. The honest ones still send sales. The dishonest ones don't.
It takes a long time to build customer loyalty to a brand and a short time to lose it. Building it makes millions, losing it costs millions.
