But reddit is flawed in a different way - it's extremely biased towards the trendy and the fashionable.

For example if you search reddit for what computer mouse to buy, you'll be told that unless it weighs less than 70g and has holes, it's utter shit and not worth your money.

I wouldn't mind paying a few pounds for them to let me browse the products. Maybe this is a viable business model.

The problem is that even in big cities, real world shops are disappearing.

This year I wanted to buy a TV, and wanted to see them in real life to judge colors/brightness levels, and shockingly, in London, I found just one place which had like 10 TVs from the leading brands. I'm sure there are a few more, but I wasn't able to locate them using google, or walking the main shopping streets. I remember shops 10 years ago which had acres of electronics (albeit in a different country).
