Seems like good old Word Of Mouth where information is relayed among people who know each other in real life, is probably going to make a big comeback for this kind of stuff.
Because if you can't trust any media on the internet being "real" the only trustworthy sources you'll have is the real people in your real life.
I would never trust any recommendations of any people I know.
Are you sure? Because that might say as much about you as about the people you know.
It definitely does.
The average person is notoriously shit at doing objective analysis, so yeah, you shouldn't trust people you know.
