Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

if you were literally in-front of a shop. would you prefer to go-inside and look at the and make a decision there? or would you go “no I’ll open up amazon on my phone instead”

To be honest if I'm in-store, I'll quite often open a browser so I can look at reviews, so yes I'll tend to end up open up Amazon, bith for reviews and a price check.

Yes, it's "more complex than the two second thought answer" - but I'll contend that this still the largest factor in the changing make-up of the high street.
