It often feels like product ratings. Only the people who didn't like it bother to write a review.

The silent majority that's there for the subconsciously gets affected by the toxicity though.

In my experience, product ratings are not at all like that. Tons of people who like stuff leave positive reviews, and frequently leave evidence they have low standards or are not good at evaluating quality.
