That doesn’t work at all anymore for many products for two reasons: 1. Astroturfing 2. Redditor incompetence. As it turns out, Reddit doesn’t know shit about a lot of large purchases. Reddit thinks that pottery barn makes some of the best furniture and that I should buy from them, rather than negotiating and buying from a top furniture maker like Hancock and Moore. I ended up with a furniture set which is at least 3X better for the same price by ignoring what idiot redditors told me to do.
