Slant

We'd skip this one. We can source no current traffic or domain rating, and the community-maintained topics are largely dormant — like SoftwareWorld, it is here because our submission worker listed it, not because we recommend it.

Free.

Who actually reads it

People searching "best X for Y" and finding a Slant recommendation thread. The pro/con format is genuinely useful when a topic is active, but many topics have not been updated in years, and a stale thread is worse than no thread.

What a strong listing looks like

A community member adding a well-argued pro to an active topic. Vendors cannot really manage a presence here — the format resists it, which is the point of the site and also the reason it is hard to use as a channel.
