I feel that, I find that when I want the answer to something I add "reddit" to the end of the question or query. I dont use a lot of reddit but I have found that usually you get much better / non-paid answers on there. So much of todays internet are just advertising in disguise. Usually when it comes to questions or comparisons with products, at least with reddit its more likely to be akin to a customer review than some random article that who knows who paid them to tell you x is better than y.

I do this too and also sometimes substitute "reddit" with "forum" if I'm researching DIY projects.

Niche forums are still incredibly valuable resources and somehow their solutions don't revolve around me buying a product that the website happens to sell.
