Does the "Page 4" thing refer to the few paragraphs at the end of the article? Because here's the thing. The cool, electic web circa 1996 was maybe X in size. Chances are that kind of web content is still here, possibly even 10X in size. It's just drowned out by 990X more of junk. If the search engines can't filter the good stuff from the junk, you have to go back to the pre-search-engine days. Lists of links, web rings and so on. They never went away. They're as eclectic as ever. Only problem is we've been spoiled by the thought that ALL information is on the web. And a lot of it is buried in the junky, spammy 990X part. I don't like having to watch an ad-riddled Youtube video for a simple thing like where did they hide the last screw you need to remove. But at least the information is there if I need it badly enough. I also don't like to wade through the "sign up for Amazon Prime" dark patterns. But I do like being able to order a gadget for a good price and reasonably soon delivery.
