I see it all the time with travel sites, it’s all clickbait and then you realize the content is generic and written by someone who has obviously never visited.

Most, absolutely. As a matter of fact Eater just posted Best Steakhouses in Boston (newsflash, there is no best steakhouse in Boston) which was just a list with some flowery text for each and it was immediately clear the two authors had never eaten at any of them.
This list 50 best is still just a list but done by a real organization with a mission. Of course it can't be exhaustive and there is nothing better than finding the whole in the wall place that no one thought to review, that is spectacular. One such thing happened to me coming back from a drive to Chicago, we got off a random exit in NY state, went to a steak place, they were packed, drove around, found this place, I ordered chicken parm with no expectations and it blew me away. Fresh made pasta, phenomenal sauce, chicken fried perfectly with tasty breading. Random, perfect. About 15 years ago. Still remember it well.
