How to You Research Vet Products on the Post AI internet? (lemmy.world)

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?

This tip worked well in '22-'23 before reddit hit peak enshittification. Agreed on the time. Researching what you are getting is not as easy as it once was.

Generous of you to assume that Reddit's peak enshittification has passed
