That shaving razor thing. Could not mention shaving without the comment section turning into a circle jerk for that razor shave company. Reddit has always been a consumerist site for hip young tech bro with lots of spending money.

I find that niche subreddit circle jerk is quite frankly bullshit. Niche community == small userbase == easier to shill.

I"ve notice that reddit is unreliable for my hobbies at least. There's one user in particular who spammed up the search index with a subpar product. If you go by reddit you'll end up buying it. If you go by various other forums you'll see the truth.
