This has forced me to create a new system I like to call "talking to your friends". If I wanna know if a movie or show is good, I ask Rebecca or Muhammad because they have similar interests to me. If I wanna know if a game is good, I can talk to Eugene or Jake. Is this music any good? Well, Marcy has similar tastes to me but not always so it's a toss up.

If I don't got no friends with that interest, well, time to find a niche online community and start chatting people up.

that's going to cap your bandwidth to what your friends have time to watch... not criticizing, i do the same, but honestly fuck bribed reviewers.

Yah, maybe my post came off as "haha nerds, try my foolproof method of having friends" when what I actually meant was "The state of the modern world has caused me to abandon what could be thought of as technological improvements because they are far worse at accomplishing their goal than the old ways."

Reviews have probably never been unbiased, but there's so much general misinformation now that even a glut of info is unreliable for figuring anything out.
