RE: Raw Chemistry?

Now here's something I've noted more than a few times while reading over the forums.
I'm very new to all of this, as are many others; hence why I'm asking this.
Whereas all the veterans here have gone through all the motions, tested everything, found quality products that they rely upon, etc; the newbies to the entire realm of pheromones, not just this site, can only go off of what they read and can find online.
Working online for a good portion of my day, I can attest how easy it is to be misled by good marketing. Let's face it, Ahmeds and RAW are backed by excellent marketing, thousands upon thousands of positive reviews, and the noted placebo effect can do wonders. Seeing thousands of positive verified purchaser reviews on trusted marketplace, such as Amazon, holds a lot more merit to the newbie than products that one has never heard of and cannot find any information on other than on the retailer's website and forums dedicated to the niche.
I've noted a few instances recently, and several others further back in the threads where somebody touts excellent results from a low-tier product and they are immediately crucified by the veterans, their reputation is lowered by others, and on some of those even chant 'ban him, ban him'.
Always present is somebody accusing the poster of selling the product. Do these companies truly send out folks to shill sell their products?
Being new, I probably don't know, so I'll ask:
Is this site really so prolifically populated with snake oil salesmen that such behavior is a knee-jerk reaction, or is it that all the regulars have heard that song and dance so many times that 'as soon as I heard X I stopped reading' is the standard fare?
I'm further confounded where the regulars here are always telling each other that product X or Y might not work for them and that they'll need to find the right product, coupled with the right chemistry, coupled with the right combination. However as soon as one of these 'mainstream' products are mentioned, the thought that it might work for some, but not others is abandoned in the haste to trounce the newbie. If everyone agrees that a product might work for me, but not you, or this other guy, how is the uninformed to know?
My opinion, for whatever its worth, is that these new folks start looking into these things, settle for a low-tier or even placebo product due to not wanting to invest more than $100 to see if it works out and then start misinterpreting each and every thing that happens to Raw or Dr. Ahmed's, or whatever hated-here-product is being mentioned.
I, for one, have tried the DR's product and found that the only thing that happened to me was that if I used a whole bunch of it all over my pulse points and under my nose that I became much more prone to flying off the handle at every little thing. I even thought about trying RAW, but didn't and came here, learned, studied, and ordered M3X (which still hasn't come in yet or my order even acknowledged by the company).
My whole point is that I, like many others, have come here to discover whether there is any veracity to the entire pheromone thing. I can fully see how others will try the mainstream stuff first.
I am also a firm believer in attitude, posture, and knowing how to interact with, and be successful with ladies. Many times the only thing holding somebody back from being noticed by women is the fact that they believe they have no chance. A placebo snake oil product might actually give them results...not because the product did anything, but because they actually believe that they are now different, unique, and will be successful.
I can fully understand how exasperated and annoyed all the regulars here must be hearing the same old mantra from johnny-come-lately's about Dr. Teeth's Raw Electric Maiden's Mayhem; but my entire point to all of this is that being a new addition to this community, it seems pretty harsh to pounce and destroy on each newbie that was gullible enough to be taken in by the sham artists that have stellar reviews, excellent marketing, and their own placebo effects.
Perhaps if I can truly become a positive and contributing member to this community I'll be casting stones along with everyone else, but having only been here a couple of days and looking for positive guidance and knowledge from those that have already walked this path, that instant demonizing of anyone that fell for the hype doesn't make it seem too welcoming.
My summary is that I'm positive many of you have done the same and then found the truth (hah! Pherotruth Pun!) and worked it all out.
Perhaps you vets might do better chuckling over us new people's folly and guiding us to the truth rather than casting stones. I'm not condemning, just observing.
Flame on!
