Reviews- are these not being done to death?

I am not against reviews and frequently use them when buying online. That’s what they’re for and a bad review, highlighting a quality or design issue will make me think twice.
I also appreciate that call centre/customer service staff can be under pressure and nothing less than an “excellent” review for service will do as they are constantly being appraised
But...but...but I really run out of steam when the long river company ask me to review a humble domestic purchase it seems within a day of buying it. . Or the service I have received - yes, I ordered something, yes it came, but no I haven’t used it yet.
I am given a docket to review the service I received when I bought something in Boots, or in Waitrose or M&S or......anywhere and the carrot they dangle is the chance to be entered in a £50 or something “draw”.
Enough already.

I have also only ever posted one bad review, on a holiday I won.
It was a sort of Tinsel and Turkey thing, at a type of holiday camp situated on Hayling Island.
It was awful, dreadful, dire , and anything else you can think of.
We stayed one night, couldn't stand being there any longer, and I sent them photos of the so called accommodation.
Our DGS was in the army, and it would have been an insult to say the room and bathroom we had been allocated were like barracks. At least barracks are most probably clean!

Now, I keep getting brochures through the post, offering short breaks.
I have tried unsubscribing, to no avail, and returning the wretched stuff, so now just have to ignore them and fume every time one arrives.
