Often times when duckduckgoing (is that the right term for that) advice for products, I use the !ddgr key to directly search reddit for advice. But in a post-blackout world, I need to do this a lot less. So I want to know what the best places are to get reviews and advice for products that are human and not top 10 listicals.
I have no idea how to crosspost so forgive this wonky layout, but I am working on an userstyle to bring the "old reddit" colorscheme for Kbin. This userstyle also has some optional quality of life features to make the layout more similar to old reddit as well. I suggest to check out the original post for more details if you're interested!
Also if anyone can figure out how to make the Kbin text on the top not white, that would help a lot too.
Previews:
Made mostly for fun, I highly suggest pairing with the kbin enhancement script and kbin slim for max immersion.
If you have any suggestions feel free to drop in the comments!
Userscript version coming soon...
Optional Styling included in the script:
Force remove pfps in comments
Even though there's an option to do so in Kbin, it never works for me, so I included a way to force remove pfps in comments.
Get rid of Margins
Gets rid of Kbin Margins to make the layout more compact like old reddit's. Shamelessly stolen from here
Previews (with default kbin):

What is it?
I love looking at aesthetics, but my favorite one is one from the 2000s. Greenish-greys with blurry filters. It was used incredibly often, yet there's very little documentation on it! I hope with this community to change that, or at least give the aesthetic more appreciation.
Why is it named like that?
Modification of a suggestion from my r/tipofmytongue post about the aesthetic. The person suggested Seafoam Shame and Verdant Melancholy, so I combined the two.
Some examples
Rihanna - Don't stop the music
Minutepass commercial
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
Eminem - Stan (most extreme green example)
Twilight
