Comment on I'm sorry for who fell for the relentless marketing

I would love if this attitude caught on with enough people to make the marketing industry implode.
I am aware of when I have a vague familiarity with a product or brand and know that that familiarity doesn’t equal good. These days it could mean anything from best in class to absolute shit. The only thing they have in common is that a lot of money was spent on marketing.
Other than that, I need to either take a gamble or do deep research into the thing I want to do (though I’m learning that the real thing I want to look into is the result I want because I might be starting with the wrong process to get there, but after that will still be research on the process and tools to do it, followed by what materials and features are good for that).
Funny thing is that in the end, I do want advertising. Only difference is I want advertising that can be trusted when marketing is often either pushing outright lies when it thinks it can get away with it or has flipped around their message so much so that they can talk their product up without outright lying. I want a reviewer that will call garbage garbage (or even better, go into detail about why they think it is garbage) and not have to worry about whether that means some producers won’t want to send them free shit to review.
