So I picked up a facebook quest 3 to get back into PCVR and to have some standalone fun too (also to force Valve’s hand to release Deckard sooner than later because that is how things work).

Wouldn’t mind getting an actually comfortable headstrap and maybe checking out what games are worth looking at. But it is REALLY hard to figure out which outlets are worth listening to and which are just playing the SEO and “sponsored but not really” bullshit game.

So… any suggestions? Thanks.

    Reddit (and most social media) is infected by astroturfing. It is about as trustworthy as a random YouTube.

    Lemmy isn’t a lot better for product reviews but is also unimportant enough that it can generate a shortlist.

      Not really. For Reddit you normally get a lot of comments on a product review and you can pick out a lot of valuable information. Most of the blogs are just one opinion. Lemmy still has a limited audience so few view points but it is getting better.

        I guess if you don’t believe that there are bots (many paying people to use their “normal” accounts) making false grass roots advertisement on reddit then I don’t really know what to tell you.

        It wasn’t just consumers who decided adding “reddit” to every google search was a good idea.
