I used to work for on of those "review" websites and it completely ruined my trust in most online product review sites. It's all just affiliate links, optimized for which offer pays out the highest conversion fee, with little to zero regard for the actual product.
I would pay a decent amount of money for a tool that just filtered out any sites in Google search that promote products using affiliate links.
- askafriend 7y agoWhat about something like The Wirecutter? Would you trust them?
- graaben 7y agoAny time money is involved I have to believe there will always be a motive, however small, to alter results for financial benefit. It's common for other "trusted" media companies to be impacted by their advertisers - why would the NYT be immune?
