The entire shady industry that exists because of Google’s search algorithm always amazes me. It’s just layers and layers of deception (even “normal” SEO, too).

- Larrikin 5y agoI've started noting sites that I trust when looking for reviews and recommendations and always go there first. If it's a site I'm unfamiliar with, I glance through the links. If they are all Amazon links I just move on without bothering to read any of their justifications. Nearly all the time it's just crap talking about a product the "reviewer" hasn't even used, but has good reviews on Amazon or some other junk. It's not a perfect system, most Serious eats articles would not make it through, but it's been helpful in avoiding total crap.

I normally look into Reddit & YouTube for such reviews because it is always people who have the authentic experience with it. Often I would find people responding to reviews in the comments and it helps to get a different perspective on the products. If it didn't have it, then I go on my trusted review sites.
