Exactly. Like the other person said, reddit is great if it is some niche. It is garbage on the more popular areas.
Wirecutter is like: "we tested the top ~10 results on Amazon for ten minutes each and picked one."
Whereas reddit is either: "we're so obsessed with flashlights we know the exact part number of the best LEDs to use (after you remove the cap from it)" or "haha I also remember the lyrics to that old top 40s hit song haha."
