Hello fellow lemmings,
I was a wiz at google in the early 2000s. I would find obscure forums for every interest and usually get some pretty good info. My research skills haven’t aged well, and I’d like to get a bit more with it.
I use:
- Rtings, for TVs and monitors
- Consumer reports, for <500
- Sites like scamreport where people rant about shitty companies not living up to their promises
- glassdoor, to see what a company’s employees think and how they are treated
How do you research your purchases when there is so much AI slop out there and google doesn’t really work right anymore. Duck duck go and bing are marginally better. Are there trusted impartial review sites?
That makes sense. In a recommendation thread, PIA or Nord would be the highest voted VPN, but if you read the comments and see your fellow privacy nerds talking about Mullvad, you might choose that because privacy is important to you. I also find popularity does not always corelate with quality.
