Unlike video games and movies, there's just not much overlap to aggregate for any given consumer product because there are just so many devices in every category.

The best case scenario seems like it would be PC gaming gear, for example, since there's so much coverage. But consider "best gaming mouse": the first handful of google links all cover different mice. I'm not sure what that UI would look like if you tried aggregating this. And I think your aggregator would feel like a shallow passthrough rather than anything independently useful like those low-effort made-for-adsense spam sites.

If you're fishing for ideas, I think first-party curation is far more useful and in line with what people want. Consider how https://www.logicalincrements.com/ works for PC parts, something I use every time I want to buy something PC related.

I don't want to compare a bunch of options. I want someone to filter down the selection for me.
