I will start by saying I am trying to consume a lot less in my life, but due to circumstance I need to start again in my life. I am also trying to degoogle not use Amazon etc.

With this in mind I prefer to buy a decent value product and look at the options however I have noticed that I keep coming across comparisons and over and over it’s driven by ‘check price at Amazon’. Amazon has ruined decent reviews for me. All anyone wants to do is sell Amazon tat at me. Anyone else have this problem of too much chafe when trying to research decent products?

    I do a lot of research before buying almost everything. Overall, I have a very good success rate, and I don’t pull any punches when describing a product’s shortcomings. I’m betting I have a lot of useful info for others, but it’s currently mostly trapped in my head. I’ve thought about trying to start up an unbiased reviews blog or something, but I’m just thoroughly daunted by how much work it might wind up involving.

      Same. The problem with going blog etc means not only work but also does not alllow you to have privacy.

      We could likely have some kind of community here but it would be somewhat country specific. Would you do it products recommends upon request or pick a product category and put it out there?
