    Can google be used at all for any product recommendations anymore? Anyone with a buck to make is gaming the algorithm.

      I usually just use it to find some sort of peer reviewed recommendations (ie YouTube reviews) - it’s usually pretty easy to tell there who’s being genuine

      No and I hate it :( Even if there are a few legit review sites still around it’s near impossible to find them among all the fake reviews being pushed by search engines
