I don't fully understand the psychology behind this. Would someone be more likely to buy an item just because is it mentioned in a forum. There are similar sites that mine HN for the books that are mentioned here. Can some ELI5 to me?

It also links to the posts, so this seems like it be nice for hobby related subreddits to see what the usuals recommend. Think calligraphy or cooking. Or even scholarly subreddit a like math and see some interesting books that people have brought up.

Reddit has narrow, highly specialized communities where product mentions, while not necessarily recommendations, are very useful for researching, shopping, and understanding a niche consumer market.
