There has to be an incentive for someone to write an authoritative and unbiased list in order for such a list to surface via web search. For the two examples you give, it's just not going to happen. For other products, I agree with the frustration but, again, who is going to provide this information for no reward?
I'm no apologist for Google but I'd be willing to bet that if you wrote such a list and it was truly authoritative and unbiased then it would be very easy to find.
- blobbers 4y agoI think the original web did not have incentives such as the ones you give. Some people just want to be influencers, or get the word out. If you remember the first 10 years of the WWW before ecommerce, before big advertising, there was definitely people touting products without shame. Besides, some people do it just for their side hustle. You write a book on finance, you want people to buy it, so you publish financial information on an ongoing basis. There are plenty of ways to indirectly reap the benefits of being trusted.
