Best printer 2024, best printer for home use, office use, printing labels, printer for school, homework printer you are a printer we are all printers

After a full year of not thinking about printers, the best printer is still whatever random Brother laser printer that’s on sale.

The Verge published this spam article about the “best printers of 2024” to demonstrate how terrible Google’s search results are. It now appears as the top non-sponsored post if you search “best printer” on Google.

I love a good, informative troll.

    Do any of us still use Google in this way though?

    Sure maybe nanna still talks to google like an Oracle… “oh Google what is the best printer of 2024”

      Yeah…have you ever had to buy new appliances? I just got a house, half my searches were for appliances, fittings and reviews and the results all sucked.

        Well yeah I do have appliances, but I don’t think I’ve ever searched for product reviews for household appliances.

        I just don’t find reviews for this stuff very helpful I guess.

              But how do you know what matters in some appliance you didn’t even know existed nevermind how it works?

                I don’t really follow you sorry.

                I can’t think of a time I’ve needed to buy an appliance I didn’t know existed nor how it works ?

                Even if I didn’t really know anything that doesn’t really matter. Usually purchases are heavily influenced by my budget. It’s not a question of what features I need, it’s a question of which product is the most reliable given the amount I want to pay.

                    I think you’re over thinking these things.

                    There’s just no way I would “research” washing machines. They all work in the same way. They all have the same features. The last time I bought one the deciding factor was a 10 year factory guarantee.
