Oh no! I did as well. Who is the current honest broker of product reviews?

  Anything that contains affiliate, referral, or commission links I do not trust.

    What monetization models do you trust more?

      I trust publications with product-independent ads and paid articles. Generally these publication shouldn’t profit from promoting a particular product. That can include free samples and any dependence on a manufacturer’s good will. An example for relatively trustworthy reviews would be (German) Stiftung Warentest (“Product Review Foundation”)’s https://test.de https://test.de, you can subscribe to all articles for a monthly fee or buy them individually. No clickbait, no pop-ups, just no-bullshit, user respecting, fairly objective tests.

  Seems like it's time to go back to Consumer Reports.

  Complaint threads on reddit probably. I don't have to watch video game reviews anymore at least, I just wait for the community on reddit to explode positively or negatively towards the game developer then I make my purchase or not. If you only went off the puff pieces in game reviews you'd be buying every title to come out. This works for a lot of stuff thats popular on reddit at least. Not sure where else I can find good communities online of people complaining and calling out shortcomings in products.
