None of the poll options really get me to buy books. What does is multiple positive reviews (NOT ratings) from my carefully curated list of similar readers on a couple of book sites.
They're not all friends (I don't know nor have I ever interacted with most of them), so it's not really that option. We rarely trade recommendations directly, outside the reviews, so it's not really that. And I generally don't much care what the general community reviews have to say (although I do read them sometimes, often on the lookout for people who I can add to my followed list.)
These days, sales pitches and bestseller lists have become so ubiquitous that if I even notice them they tend to put me off.
