In the olden days, everyone was slapping together their own websites, rather than using the same old templated wordpress, hugo, etc, so there was far more character, and not everything was a blog. And so people surfed the web. These days the web is more purpose oriented, people looking for something, the "surfing" all within walls, wave pools.
- floren 8y agoThe days of the web ring, which often as not was broken or took you through dozens of content-free sites but could occasionally drop you into something fantastic. Browsing Internet Directories. Just plain finding some guy's massive meticulously-maintained HTML-only site full of fascinating articles, bookmarking it, slowly working your way through it over the course of your evening browsing sessions.

Content marketers spamming the web to the point that a regular person is more likely to be trapped in some bullshit low-quality clickbait article than to get correct information. You need to be hyper-focused just to get what you're looking for.
