But it does mean that the reviews you based your decisions on are for old models (that may have sense been upgraded or changed) or discontinued products.
I’m a computer guy, 90% of the things I’m gonna wanna see reviews for are ABSOLUTELY things where older means worse. A review of a year+ old cpu, for example, is absolutely meaningless to me, I wanna see how good the bleeding edge stuff performs.
I’m a “computer guy” as well and I don’t nearly have the need for all he bleeding edge stuff. Especially for server, budget/used options, homelabs and open source software (where the drivers aren’t optimized yet), older hardware is way enough for the job.
Y’know, something you’d want up to date results for so you’re not potentially buying older worse products.
It seems like every new product is worse than shit that was out 5 years ago anyway. Less functional, shorter lifespan, etc. Especially electronics.
I get what you’re saying, but"older doesn’t necessary mean “worse”.

Sure, but I don’t need reviews for that stuff. I would’ve already seen those when they were actually, y’know, new.
The bleeding edge stuff isn’t stuff I personally need nor can afford. I just like learning about the newest and greatest tech.
