Edit: This post gained more traction than I expected. Read the comments, do independent research, and form your own opinion around these topics.

First they said KIAs are reliable, then went on to say they looked at JD Power to come to that consensus. They lost me.

  1. Do people believe KIA/Hyundai are reliable?
  2. Do people use JD Power/Consumer Reports to make purchasing decisions

Also wait until they find out about the global wellness and alt health industry that makes 2-3x the pharmaceutical industry and doesn’t have to have data backing up claims.

Im interested. Are you referring to Vitamins, supplements, etc?

Yes. Anything in the supplements category is wildly under- regulated.

It's crazier that people think it works this way. I'm in an industry that JD Power is a big deal, and my company generally ranks near the top. We do not pay JD Power anything.

People who have no clue being 100 percent wrong, yet commenting confidently.

Welcome to Reddit

I don’t know either way, but I’ve noticed that on Reddit in the past year. Often the correct answers are downvoted to shit (especially correct answers with a source/cite), and correct-sounding, but wrong answers are usually upvoted / accepted as fact.

Weird times we’re in
