True but, for example, I still find that restaurants and travel advice is far superior on Reddit than Google.

Reddit is often my starting point for beginning research on purchasing decisions.

Although when buying a digital piano, I ended up finding dedicated boards like pianoworld to be better

EDIT

Ironically, I also find YouTube to be a great source of research, mostly because the cost to produce content is higher and I think it's somewhat harder to produce inauthentic content (at least to me so far for the things I am researching)
