"Customer reviews of download scenes?"
Love you, too
Does anyone care about user-posted reviews for WAM scenes?
Do you read them? Do they influence download numbers at all?
(help vs. hurt sales?)
Seems like very few reviews ever get written or posted.
There's a very short window after purchase date when official reviews can be posted. I usually download a bunch at one time, and don't get to watch them or review within 5 days. I'd review more.

You can actually review a scene you've bought at any time, click "Profile" above, then from the left hand sidebar click "Purchases", then "Purchase History", and you'll see everything you've ever bought, with a "Review It!" button for each scene.
As a producer, it's always lovely when people leave positive reviews, and they are very much appreciated, especially when they include what will be useful detail for potential other purchasers.
As a customer, while I'll read any reviews, how much they'll influence my purcase decision will depend on how "technical" they are. I'm looking for extra information that isn't in the description or clear from the preview photos, and generally details like whether we can properly see each stage of the messing (crossed legs or hands in laps are complete scene-killers), is the camera work steady or shaky, is there any idiot zooming-in that misses the money shots, can we see the model's lower half getting messy. A good descriptiion and previews would provide that information anyway but not all do.
As a reviewer however, most of the time I don't get round to it. I often mean to, and occasionally I do manage it - for example I did this one for one of Chantelle's scenes:
https://umd.net/download_info/chantelle-formal-mauve-outfit#reviews
Note the original scene description is very lacking in detail, basically none of the important information is included, so as I really did like the scene I tried to include in the review everything that should have been in the description, like the exact running times of the clean vs messy sections, and how Chantelle starts to get muddy, and exactly when the first of the back-falls she's famous for happens, etc.
I've also reviewed one of Candy's scenes I bought and again gave detailed running times for the different cameras (the one video contains two views one after the othert, first front-on and then overhead view), and the exact point at which the model takes her outfit off. To me that's an absolutely vital peice of information that *every* clothed-to-nude scene should include, so potential purchasers who only like clothed (like me) or only like nude, can make an informed "value for money" decision on whether the cost of the scene is justified for the bit they are interested in.

The only problem is that UMD has lost all the formatting, the review was several separate paragraphs and the running times were actually entered like this, but the system has rammed it all togehter into a single block of text:
Timings:
Front camera:
Clean and dry: 0:00 to 1:16
Messy wearing the swimsuit: 1:16 to 4:49
Stripping out of the swimsuit: 4:49 to 5:07
Naked and messy: 5:07 to 7:25
Top camera (mounted top front of gunge tank looking down):
Clean and dry: 7:26 to 07:58
Messy wearing the swimsuit: 7:58 to 11:33
Stripping out of the swimsuit: 11:33 to 11:50
Naked and messy: 11:50 to 16:02
But all too often, while I might have every intention of revewing a scene, once it's been "enjoyed" doing so feels like work, and then next time I watch the same scene, the same thing happens again, mean to review beforehand, but don't get round to it afterwards.
I'm also wary of leaving anything that could be construed as a negative review, because as a fellow producer it could be seen as attempting to sabotage a competitor. For example I recently bought a scene from the Moomins where Lisa and another model get oiled in jeans, unfortunately though Lisa's jeans are unzipped for her entire section, which completely ruins it for me (first rule of trouser-filling, DO NOT UNZIP!!!) - but there's only one pic with the unzipped jeans in the preview so I'd been hoping they'd only been unzipped briefly, sadly not the case. So I'm partly thinking I should review it to warn other filling fans that unless they like unzipped filling it's best skipped, but wary that it could be taken the wrong way, so have just left it.
Finally, a few years back I released a swimsuit filling scene which sold nine copies in the first five days, right up until one buyer left a review complaining that there wasn't enough lead-in, the model starts filling her swimsuit just after the video begins, and that he preferred to see the model posing clean in her suit for a bit first. The thing being we had the model do the clean and dry posting in the very high res still photos, which are also included in the download, before we rolled the video, on the basis that with stills you can linger as long as you like over the dry shots (which we took from all possible angles including close up crotch and bum shots as well as full height ones) - so customers watching the video wouldn't have to waste time skipping through the dry section to get to the money shots. But the person who wrote the review didn't realise that. Sales dropped dead the instant that review was posted and even after it was eventually deleted some months later, never really recovered, it's now been out for 5 years and only sold 22 copies total. So it's probably covered its costs, but hasn't made much of a profit.
So in short, a bad review can have a significant negative effect on sales, it's harder to tell if positive ones do or not, as the scenes most likely to have positive reviews are probably going to be ones that are naturally popular anyway. Several of our big sellers do have positive reviews, but often those scenes were selling well before the good review was left, so it's amplifying an existing sentiment. We still totally appreciate all positive reviews though, even if they just say "Great scene" or "gorgeous model", it's a real boost when someone takes the time to leave one.

I don't know if they influence sales at all, but as the maker and model of my content it is a huge confidence boost and is something I live for. I am more happy to get a review than a sale, just because they are so seldom to get.
