Average Guy Tries has retired

One average guy, many questionable purchases, and a long-running refusal to pretend every review needed a lab coat.

The Farewell

Average Guy Tries was always simple: one regular person actually tried things and wrote about how they went. No fake testing lab, no affiliate empire, no “top 10” filler disguised as wisdom. Just real attempts, real opinions, questionable purchases, occasional typos, and the odd moment where something actually worked.

But the internet changed. AI can now crank out endless “reviews” faster than I can open the box, charge the gadget, lose the instructions, and remember why I bought the thing in the first place.

Authenticity is charming, but scalability wins.

Also, buying random stuff from Instagram ads gets expensive. Eventually, a man has to look at the growing pile of half-used gadgets and admit that maybe the algorithm won this round.

So that’s it. No dramatic goodbye tour. No content museum. Just this page as a small marker that Average Guy Tries had a good run.

An average guy tried. Sometimes, an average guy even succeeded. Thanks for reading, sending ideas, laughing at the disasters, and participating in the adventure. I did this because I enjoyed it, and I’m glad it existed.
