    This feels similar to reading further product reviews or customer comments between the time of purchase payment and shipped delivery for an online shopping. Anyone else sometimes do this?

      I just did this last night. I checked through different sites for reviews to make sure that the reviews on the company’s site weren’t skewed in any way. I’ll probably look at more reviews tonight too.

      I’ve done this occasionally with youtube reviews for tech purchases.

      Seems illogical, to your point, as the purchase is already made, but I’m no longer looking at the reviews to make a decision.

      I’m looking to:

      A) Maybe find out some cool feature I didn’t know about, so I can get the most out of it

      B) Get HYPE because I’m excited about it!

      So not as illogical as it seems :)

      Similar as well to looking up sale prices on items you’ve recently purchased to torture yourself with money you “could” have saved lol.
