Cory Doctorow on Nostr: All of this comes at a price, and it's only incidentally paid by legitimate sites ...
All of this comes at a price, and it's only incidentally paid by legitimate sites like Housefresh. The real price is borne by all of us, who are funneled by the 90%-market-share search engine into "review" sites that push low quality, high-price products. Housefresh's top budget air purifier costs $79. That's *hundreds of dollars* cheaper than the "budget" pick at other sites, who largely perform *no* original research.
