> a tolerably small number of steps removed. When I try to search the larger web, only garbage surfaces. I can only find quality content via human-curated sites (like this and Reddit). The golden age is over. Most e-mail is spam. Most sites are advertisements or pushing some other agenda. When bots creating accounts prevail over human moderation of content, the quality will drop in further areas. Then people will stop visiting those areas. There are no winners - visitors, advertisers, and eventually publishers all lose.
