It'd be a bit ironic if we go back towards curated search engines (i.e. catalogs of the 1990s) due to the algorithms making a mess of it.

There was something magical about diving into a hierarchy of arbitrary classification and finding links to new sites you never knew existed.

Nowadays I never discover new gems on Google. Only Pinterest/Quora/fake-Instagram junk.
