Anyone else tired of reading 5–10 review articles just to buy one product?

1•Mr-Mosh•1mo ago
Lately I’ve noticed that buying anything (laptop, headphones, keyboard, app, etc.) feels way harder than it should.

I end up opening 5–10 review sites, comparing slightly different “Top 10” lists, and still wondering:

• Which sites are actually trustworthy? • Why do rankings change so much? • Am I missing something better?

It made me wonder:

Would you trust an app/extension that automatically aggregates the best products across multiple reputable review sites, shows you the sources, and ranks them by how consistently they’re recommended?

Not asking about perfect accuracy — more about saving time and reducing decision fatigue.

Curious:

How do you personally decide what to buy?

Do you trust review sites today?

What would make you not trust something like this?

Genuinely interested in honest opinions — even if the answer is “this already exists” or “I wouldn’t use it.”

Nah.

I read like 5 or 10 and try to see the common pattern.

JohnFen•1mo ago
> Do you trust review sites today?

No. I consider reviews and review sites to be basically worthless and pay no attention to them. If I'm making a nontrivial purchase decision, I research the product itself first (not reviews of the product). The closest I get to paying attention to "reviews" is that I do a web search looking for people asking for help resolving issues with the product. That gives me a good idea of how problematic the product is and how much difficulty people have had engaging with the manufacturer about problems.

> Would you trust an app/extension that automatically aggregates the best products across multiple reputable review sites, shows you the sources, and ranks them by how consistently they’re recommended?

This is unlikely to be of interest to me. How would just a site define "best product", how would it decide what review sites are "reputable", etc.? Also, review aggregators like this historically have been even worse than the review sites themselves.
