> Online reviews are totally broken
Strong cosign. Ratings and reviews should always be independent and beyond the control of that being reviewed. Reddit would be an amazing service if it supported commenting on any page/site/product/entity, but this is anathemic to advertising dollars.
- km144 2y agoReddit at least used to have a form of value as a recommendations engine—searches for "best x site:reddit.com" would yield anything from decent to fantastic results depending on the product. But even that is completely useless nowadays due to bots and AI spam. Product recommendation services like Wirecutter have been ruined by Amazon affiliate links. I have no idea who to trust on the quality of products in an era where the amount of choices available is overwhelming and the number of real human responses on the internet in any place where there's money to be made is dwindling by the day.
