Google will not be interested in fixing search. It also may not be possibile because of ai spam. They would like to invest in deep mind/bard/gemini than to fix technology that will be obsolete in a few years.

I have started scanning domains to see how many different places there are in the internet. Spoiler: Not many.

We could try to create curated open databases for links, forums, places, and links, but in ai era it will always be a niche.

Having said that I think that it is a good thing. If it is a niche it will not be spoiled by normal users expecting simple behavior, or corporations trying to control the output.

Start your blog

Start your curated lists of links.

Control your data. Share your data.

It's a spiral, so it won't be controlled by a corporation.

Actually, there are many such collaborative directories on specific subjects; search GitHub for "awesome <something>", for instance.

It's funny that you end your comment with a link to github. The centralized website that has been swallowing open source code.

Other than that, I agree with your message.
