At this point, I basically need to know or find an authorities source first. PCMag still appears to be a good resource, moreso than Tom's Hardware and Wirecutter at times (I think.) It's sort of the same shit, but they seem to put a little more work into being right. Too many listicles that are "10 best" are really "the first 10 the author saw while searching." When coronavirus started, theres no way anybody writing most of those "review rollups" ordered and tried on any of the masks they assembled into posts. There are fewer and fewer places that seem to be trying things themselves before recommending them.

Google really needs an authoritative mode that strips out or deduplicates the news cycle and blogsphere. Something that can tell that every post is basically the same thing and turns it into one entry. I want uniqueness and quality. I dont need the same opinion repeated across 10 urls.

A CTRL+F of the MUM page didnt find the word duplicate once.
