Finding recommendations is so hard nowadays. There is so much bullshit to wade through. You search for a product recommendation and you first have to sift through the actual advertisements at the top, then the sponsored blog posts, then the obvious sponsored blog posts that they illegally don't disclose, and then the clickbait robot generated articles thrown together with repetitive phrases to trick the search engines.

And, worst of all, once you finally get to actual people's recommendations, you have to sift through the fact that most people don't know how to give a recommendation. People are stupid and don't seem to understand what's good and what isn't. Some people will recommend because the product has a gimmicky feature, even if the product is built like shit. Some people will recommend because the product worked at least once for them. Some people will recommend just because it's what they bought, and they subconsciously want to reaffirm to themselves that they bought the right one, so they tell other people they highly recommend it. It's all shit.

You eventually sometimes maybe can find someone's recommendation who spent the time to thoughtfully explain why exactly they recommend this product, what they use this product for, what similar products they've used in the past to compare it to, how long they've used the product, and what they don't like about the product.

I have best luck with product recommendations found in YouTube videos that I happen to be watching, but only when they meet the above criteria. Not so much videos specifically for the product, but recommendations mid-video in passing. But, obviously, this method doesn't work so great when you need a specific product and are actively looking for recommendations.
