This is a hard problem, and I'd love someone to solve it.

I was looking recently for some guides about Docker, as some parts were confusing me -- everything on the first couple of pages of Google was clearly just badly repeating the "getting started" guide, which I'd already read!

Blogging platforms that make it easier to publish and to be discoverable contribute to the problem just by making it easier to publish and to be discoverable. When writing a blog meant writing your own HTML, or at least installing and configuring some blogging software, and you’d have to write content other people linked to get a good page rank for your website, that served as a filter for low-quality content.

I’m not advocating to abolish blogging platforms, but they’ve been a double-edged sword in that way.
