I dont agree that AdSense/affiliate blogs dont have useful information. They have bias, but that doesnt mean they all need to be dismissed.
Consumer reports, popular mechanics, wirecutter, nerdwallet, valuepenguin, bankrate (the points guy, credotcards.com) bicycling.com The financial and mattress websites have gotten out of hand, but there still IS good information between the ads. Its probably almost time for an aggregation of the roundup sites, one that sorts and links back to all the best of articles on a given topic. Content ads can still be useful starting points for research - such as https://www.popularmechanics.com/home/food-drink/a28493008/best-cast-iron-skillets/ https://www.popularmechanics.com/home/food-drink/a28493008/b...
You do have to read, and the answer isnt always spelled out at the top of articles. For example, the Wells Fargo Propel card is way better than most card comparison sites give it credit for. They admit how good it is, and then suggest what may be a lesser card for some people (like Wirecutter recommeding the Costco card over it.)
