This has been a problem I've observed when using reddit to choose products. If a bunch of people are going to get together to talk about X, they are going to be way more into X than most people. When I was choosing a mesh network system the conclusion I got from reddit was that spending less than $600-$800 and having a system without a wired backbone would make my internet unusable. It was extremely difficult to find a "good enough for typical users" recommendation since none of the posters were typical users.
