I know in the 90's if something had the "Good housekeeping Seal of Approval" then it was usually a trustworthy purchase.
What we need is a regulatory board that, like other people say, curate products based on their quality, not on whatever kickbacks or affiliate link profits they get.
It sucks if, for instance, you go looking for a Towel Warmer for your girlfriend and you have to read through 17 different, "Top 10 tower warmers 2023" pages that all recommend the exact same items with the exact same stock photos from different sellers with alphabet soup names.
What I want is an opinionated site that reviews items, has a short write up, and then keeps an updated list of their top 3 which is split between "Best overall", "Best for your dollar", and "MVP" (Minimum Viable Product, i.e. the least expensive one they've found so far that meets their minimum quality expectations for the product).
Products are allowed to occupy more than a single category.
Give me that site, and then let them develop a unique recommendation logo with a QR code that goes to their page so you can read the review yourself.
- papito 4y agoI often go to WireCutter before I even look elsewhere, but it's a hassle. Amazon and Etsy should be at least partially responsible for policing what is being sold on their sites. They are not helpless victims.
