Who the hell wants whatever the alternative to stack overflow is?? I mean, what would that even be? Misleading Quora questions? Expertsexchange pages that give wrong answers and don’t let you view it without an account? Microsoft help forums where nobody even answers the question and the thread is just people complaining about the lack of answers? Old school forums where denver_coder12 just replies to his own question with “I fixed it”?

The pre stack overflow internet sucked ass.

But Reddit and SO are the only two results that give me the answers I need/want

Reddit >>> AI generated articles or bias sponsored reviews…

My standard workflow for researching X product I would like to purchase:

• Search X product.
• Click through some vendor pages selling X product.
• Search for reviews/comparisons of different versions of X product.
• Read a few pages of utter junk that seems like spit the vendor pages through an AI generator.
• Go to Reddit and find real reviews.
