Location reviews
I feel like this is a safe space to ask the following question. There are a number of subreddits that cater to the top 5% or so of travelers by spend (recognizing that the spend grows logarithmically) and after spending entirely too much time over the past couple/few years reading the content posted, I wonder: who tf has time to write long reviews, including photos, of locations? Even after removing those written by travel advisors, I’m amazed at posts that are like magazine articles. It’s rare to find ones that feel forthright and honest - most give Everything Is Awesome! vibes - and I wonder if all of them should carry a significant discount factor to the information presented. And this leads me to believe that everything is marketing, in a similar way that AI promises are overcooked due to the ocean-sized vomit of money (real and unrealized paper gain) pumped into it. Am I simply stating the obvious?
