"silent enjoyers" -- examples wanted? Some people never complain; they just leave. Others persevere because they're insensitive.

If I look at Yelp reviews, one or two bad reviews are standard. But if there are 30-40, all different, then I suspect something's up.

It doesn't matter about "the ratio of good to bad." If you're pissing off a lot of customers, you are bad. Period.

You could probably find 40 negative reviews of Apple world wide. But they are obviously bad then. Period.

You just don't give up, do you? Irrelevant. No one looks at Yelp to find out about Apple.

"Give up"? I'm just poking holes in your argument, not sure why I got anything to give up? Is me doing that worse than you not "giving up" somehow?

It's not irrelevant. I didn't even mention yelp so that's a straw man. You said the ratio didn't matter. I claimed it does, as looking at absolute numbers of complaints makes no sense. That's it.

I said, "If I look at Yelp reviews, one or two bad reviews are standard." So yes, it IS relevant, whether you forgot that or not.
