You know where you cand find out if a cafe or restaurant will be closed? A search provider with the words [cafe name] opening times. Shit mate, google maps has the opening times.
If you're seeing recommendations for a place on tiktok, it's already ultra touristic, and is in no way shape or form hidden.
And surely you're going to find accurate and up to date unbiased information about these 'dangerous neighbourhoods' from tiktok, you're surely not just going to be faced with a wall of thinly veiled racism on there at all.
You'd really let someone else do all your thinking for you, and then posting a video touting their opinions as facts.
That's not the question. The suggested better approach is using outdated google results which is bad. You will manually filter all things ? And then go find a new list... Shit mate, google maps also has wrong and outdated information, already had it a few times listing closed shops as open.
Basically you're saying using algorithm and partially accurate lists instead of one made by a human. The rest is just you pushing your bias to make assumptions since you have no idea.
If using guides is "letting someone do the thinking for me" then I should go in the country and visit all shops by myself and then do my own guide to see what I should visit?
