Been noticing from many days, the threads asking for recommendations for Smartphones, TVs, etc are basically useless/pointless.
There are mainly two types of people:
1) People who have already decided beforehand what they want to buy, and are just looking for validation/affirmation from other people about their decision.
2) People who don't know what to buy. So forum members recommend a few products. But at the end, they end up buying something totally different and not even near what everyone recommended.
90% of posts belong to these two categories. In both the cases, people's opinion doesn't really matter. Only 10% maybe buy what they are recommended. So I feel it's a waste of time as well as energy.
Sorry for the rant!
