Digital content being so easy to produce and often of such poor quality is the best reason to use bookmarks. Trying to get back to the same tutorial I liked is impossible when searching “react firebase authentication” shows a hundred new poor quality articles being written every day. If I see a couple that might be promising I’ll throw them into my bookmarks to go through later. Because most of them might be trash but who knows if I’ll ever be able to find them again to verify.
- heisenbit 7y agoYes, in the past the web was able to self curate. People were creating links to stuff they found valuable. Google amplified these signals. These days it is too easy to copy-paste stuff and creating meaningless content is valued over referencing reference material. Google search quality went down. What we need is a way to get Google and other search engines to index our bookmarks to figure out what people value.
