reddit is probably the worst place on the internet to get any advice on. it used to be the place I used to go when I wanted to outsource my entire personality and thinking (admittedly I was underage and didnt have a shred of critical thinking in me). has been a long journey of unlearning ever since I realized what kind of people were posting on there. I'm seeing similarities on HN too btw. I think the internet would be a much better place without reddit.

I have sometimes turned to Reddit to find out things about clothing and recommendations for clothes, but I find the general consensus about "if you want x, the best place to buy is y" is pretty rubbish.
The best thing you can learn is how to treat clothes, as you mention.

You can tell the author went deep into reddit because they fell for the wool meme. Sorry but synthetics (for anything active) are far better: lighter, warmer, better at dealing with moisture.
One pattern I noticed that was missing: the classic reddit experience of saying "I'd like a new shoulder season jacket, and I want to spend less than $100" and having some know-it-all try to convince you that what you really need is an ultra-nano-pore down puffer made by a blind Italian artisan that costs $950, and that anything else is Wal-Mart-tier garbage.

on related note what would be the best VFM sneakers/hiking shoes which will be mostly used in the city and are also available in Europe? in US you have pretty sweet deals on sneakers or some walmart or other cheap good quality brands, but here in Europe everything which ain't Adidas/Nike/Puma will have for me collapsed heel within few weeks, and mind I am not even some fat guy, my BMI is like 21 and literally every single noname shoe (think like Lidl) will collapse for me
