Also, a lot of it makes no sense. Bonobos is listed as "Avoid" because it was bought out, not because the product was made worse in any way. Some entries have reasoning about avoiding because the product was made worse, but most are just "company was sold" or "owned by a conglomerate"

That isn't reason enough for me to avoid, maybe to watch for things, but not avoid. Wake me when a product is worse on purpose, like the title claims.

And it's just ai slopped text too. This is the reason ThermoWorks is "Approved"

> Independent and honest; manufacturing is English rather than American, which matters for framing but not for stewardship

What does that even mean? That says absolutely nothing.

Same with the reason lodge is approved:

> Family-owned, US-made, priced honestly. The anchor of the entire counter-list.

Says nothing besides the AI wrote everything, and likely claude.
