Better reviews of everything. Solve (or ameliorate) the trust and incentivisation problem. It's stunning that something simple and non-optimal like Wirecutter is such an improvement, at least in the area of consumer electronics.

Not great, but it does a decent job. I use Wirecutter a lot, too.

Yea. To a less effective extent, the US has Consumer Reports. But as you might agree, these organizations are quite clumsy and difficult to finance, their recommendations are one-size-fits-all, and they have operated pretty much the same for half a century.
