I’m not sure if this is just me, but it drives me nuts when I see someone answer a question (for example in the questions section on an amazon product page) to just say that they don’t know or they give an unrelated answer.

For example:

Q: Do these headphones support bluetooth and wired connections?

A: I’m not sure, but my grandson loves these!

The same goes for posts which ask a question on other sites or reviews complaining about a product, despite it doing exactly as advertised. Idk, maybe I should have posted this on unpopular opinion.

    It’s because a lot of boomers think everything they see on the internet is sent personally to them. Took me years (literal years) to explain to my mom that someone’s Facebook status was not that person sending her a message.

    Most don’t even realize the product questions are automated. They think amazon is personally asking them so they feel obliged to respond, even if they don’t know the answer.

      To be fair, Amazon does personally send people e-mails with those product questions and it’s formulated as you specifically being asked…
