Michael SchurterTrying to shop for camping gear without using Reddit is awful. Giving up Twitter was easy, but giving up Reddit is proving much harder. So much durable comprehensive knowledge is trapped on Reddit.
Small independent forums seem to exist, but their layout and ad encroachment is 10x worse than Reddit. “Independent” blogs seem impossible to trust. They all read like astroturfed content farm garbage.

@nholbert I mean it's honestly not bad. Kind of the premium option, and probably generated mostly from reddit posts. Will be interesting to see how much AIs degrade over time after reddit dies (or limits AI access), and more of the AI training data just comes from AI generated content farms.
@schmichael Huh. That’s disappointingly normal. Gonna go post all over Reddit and Amazon reviews that the Domestic CFX smells like farts
