This for me is what has really decreased the quality of the Internet. Geocities was full of really good articles about things like electronics instructions manuals, DIYs and whatnot. Nowadays the Internet is full of spam disguised as content, but really not containing any content. The majority of the content you see on the web is actually written by marketing agencies, and even "white papers", "case studies" or other similar articles are nothing more than marketing material.
