Do you automatically give 5 stars to reviews with videos?

Contributor: DreamWolf DreamWolf
Nope I don't, it always depends on the review!

Not necessarily. I have seen a few completely useless videos.

Depends on the info in the video.

No, they are separate I usually rate reviews with out watching the videos at all.

No, that isn't fair to do that.

Absolutely not. Sometimes a video review just does not work for me the same way a review might not work for me. I do not rate them separately or ignore them because they are often a part of the review that someone put work into regardless of whether or not I liked it. I take it into account when I make me vote and comment. If they want my honest feedback, reviewers are always welcome to message me as I would too if I wanted extra feedback.

Nope. I rate it according to how useful I personally found the review.

I don't rate looking at videos. I rate just the review. If the video is swell and informative, I'll leave a note in the comment section.

But usually video reviews are pretty good.

For me it does not matter if they have a video or not. If a review is well written and tells me most everything I would need to know about a toy, then it gets rated well. If I after I read the review, I still know nothing more than what I could have figured out myself by reading the product information, well... then it gets a less than useful rating.

No, I rate based on how informative I think the reviews are.

You can rate videos. Go to Eden tube.

I try to rate reviews based on overall information. A great video might pull my rating up, but if paired with less than great review it will probably not help.

Like everyone else has already said I vote on the quality of both the review and video.

No, not automatically. I look at the whole review. But adding a video is a bit of a step up to me, especially if they already have a great review.

In general, posting a video shows you dedicated more time to the review. I am more favorable, but the highest vote is not absolute. Ever

You can have a great review, and a crappy video. Or, a great video and a crappy review. I usually prefer reading a review than watching a video, since I can skim. I don't tend to rate the two together.

agreed.

How do you get a $50 gift card for video reviews?? i do a good bit of them and get $15 - beauty products and $25 - glass toys and vibes etc

The same thing goes with the pictures in reviews, too.

Depends on the content. If the video is useless and isn't worth watching there really is no point in rating EU unless the written review is actually EU.

Not automatically, but it does seem like if you took the time to make a video, your review is generally more detailed and helpful anyway.

Like with anything there are good videos and bad videos out there. A requirement of the video review program is that you do a written review as well so we know any time we see a less than stellar video floating around with no written review attached to it they should not have gotten a gift card for it.

it really depends on the video if that was the case people could just do a video for every review

I almost feel like I am harder on video reviewers. They have the upper hand they actually get to SHOW OFF the toy, most suck at it though. And if a video has unprofessional or inappropriate to the review nudity those are points off in my book

Heck no I don't. If the video and review are a hot mess, I refuse to give it five stars. It has to earn five stars, so I don't believe in just giving things positive feedback when they don't deserve it.
