But for every trash Popular Science review there is an LTT deep dive video that is worth your time. For every CNN there is a BBC. If one's gateway to "the internet" is the first dozen google results, the internet is a shallow place. But if you know your way around its back roads, the internet still grants access to very useful information.

(I would describe HN as a borderline back road of the internet, somewhere between reddit and a private-access forum.)
