The hugely helpful forum search options were axed. Searches for obscure or arcane information are routinely rewarded with barely-related marketing and bot-built keyword pages. On any given day, I'll run into dozens of instances of how gleaning the info I want out of Google is hugely more difficult (or outright impossible) than it was a decade ago. The only thing Google still has in it's favor is it still obeys search operands - well, usually.

Using lots of VC money the current players have secured their position as "caretakers" of the internet, a medium that's no longer novel for Klondike like expeditions. All gold has been mined (or is already claimed).
