Ah yes, "curated search". That's been tried, and it's literally impossible to keep up to date, web pages change all the time, what was an authoritative site yes

Ah yes, "curated search". That's been tried, and it's literally impossible to keep up to date, web pages change all the time, what was an authoritative site yesterday is a phishing site or online pharmacy today. And you're wrong about the economics of spamming wikipedia or stackoverflow, spammers already target sites like that, there are even spammers who target HN, and your model would just make it even more worth it for them.
- stcredzero 16y agoAh yes, "curated search". That's been tried, and it's literally impossible to keep up to date Weak. I'm not advocating "curated search" for everything. Your point is like trumpeting dynamic RAM over NAND gates and not mentioning caching. And you're wrong about the economics of spamming wikipedia or stackoverflow, spammers already target sites like that, there are even spammers who target HN, and your model would just make it even more worth it for them. Wow. that's kinda fuzzy thinking there. For it to be worth it for spammers to specifically target an anti-SEO engine, it would have to be successful in the first place, which undercuts the point you were trying to make. Also, even though spammers target wikipedia, HN, and stackoverflow, why don't I perceive spam as a problem?
- phpnode 16y agook, I don't believe we're getting anywhere. My challenge to you is, if it's so easy, build it. Prove me wrong and make your millions while you're at it :)
