I understand why you went for a product search engine (gotta monetize) but I think one of the reasons mining reddit for intel is so helpful is you aren't always being sold a product.
For example: I recently turned to reddit because I was looking for a foam roller to resolve some IT band issues from running, and ended up finding a stretching routine that has fixed my problem without buying anything.
Either way, I think this is really cool and bypassing the nonsense that google is becoming is a winning path.
thank you! i completely agree -- i often go to reddit when looking for tv show recommendations because of its honest advice from the community (maybe it's because of its anonymity?)
we definitely want to expand this to outside product search and be more of a general recommendation/opinion search (e.g. in your case, finding out what people are saying about how to fix band issues from running), interested as to what you would think about this :)
besides your anecdote, all the games reviews, computer part reviews, etc are all paid by drop shippers. and some reddits like mattress review ones are exclusively shills talking among them.
