Longtime fans have turned on the product-recommendation website. An evolving internet may be to blame.
I am one of them. I used to trust Wirecutter recommendations over anything else on Internet, but I dont get the feeling it is the same anymore. I am sure NYTimes buying it had to do lot with that feeling, but now more often than not their recommendations are basically here’s the most expensive item on the shelf and we recommend it mode. Heck, I literally bought their budget sunrise alarm clock pick reading their recommendations last week and immediately regretted making the purchase. I could and should’ve gone for something else that had better reviews.
