Ask HN: Best Reviews?

4 pointsby ptrhvnsover 3 years ago
Where do you like to go to get "good" reviews? It could be for any subject like computer hardware, books, movies, etc. My hope is to avoid SEO hell, and get honest, competent information. If you don't have specific places, maybe you can suggest strategies or tools you use for wading through the junk to get to useful information.

Movies/series: I read IMDb user reviews, a page or two of them, and read between the lines. The numerical rating alone means very little. Also, if a movie is rated 7, I know that of two movies — one with all reviews 7 stars, another with half 4 stars, and half 10 stars — I will like the second infinitely more, and the first will be mediocre. There are a few 'external reviewers' I mostly trust: Roger Ebert, Moria, Louise Keller.

Find the subreddit for whatever niche you are looking for reviews in, sort by all time top posts and do a url analysis :). You may also find some outbound links in the comments.<p>For cannabis reviews, give my site The Highest Critic a try.
