I think this is more location (country, continent, city) dependent than you think, and you are probably more platform-savvy (being, that you are on HN), than the average person. People generally don't go to ten platforms, if they can get 90% of the way, on a single one.
- lupire 4y agoImagine a search engine that only indexes quality review sites (like Rtings), and has a comprehensive database across all of commerce. It would become super popular, and would be easy because there are very few quality review sites. The hardest part is not selling out and becoming yet another shady bad review site/indexer.
- wolverine876 4y agoI didn't know about Rtings and they look interesting. Who publishes them, do you know? It's not discussed on their About page. Also, in some ways they seem similar to Consumer Reports. Have you seen CR and how would you compare them? Thanks!
- chrischen 4y agoSure the more savvy you are the more “better than google” services you know. But let’s be honest DoorDash, Uber, Yelp are all pretty much household names. Being able to do the right google search also requires some saviness so probably a person who doesn’t know Yelp exists also doesn’t know how to internet.
