Curated lists of sites is the web. A site links to a few sites that the author knows to be good and those sites do the same for a few more sites. That's the web. It's what enabled the Google page rank algorithm to work in the first place. The Internet we continue to use and enjoy but the web hasn't existed in any practical form for 15 years. If people do start rebuilding the web then Google's search algorithm will suddenly start working better which will cause people to stop building the web. So obviously we'll just end up with a steady state where Google just kindof sucks but is kindof usable. I think that we might be there already.
