You are not alone in feeling that way but personally, I don't think it's like pouring into a rapidly emptying cup. I think that, relatively speaking, the signal vs noise ratio is changing and noise is increasing, percentage wise. But in absolute terms, I think there's still A LOT of good, human content out there and the web is still full of interesting people worth following and engage with. Personally I'm a big fan of blogs as a way to get to know people and see what they're up to. And those are still going strong. If you want to go down that path for example, there are plenty of starting point: - The ooh.directory (https://ooh.directory https://ooh.directory) has thousands of blogs listed from all over the world - My own blogroll.org (https://blogroll.org https://blogroll.org) has just passed 1k blogs listed - Kagi has their own small web tool thingy https://kagi.com/smallweb https://kagi.com/smallweb And then you even have even more old school style projects like the Internet Phone Book (https://internetphonebook.net https://internetphonebook.net) Are.na (https://www.are.na https://www.are.na) is also an excellent place to stumble on more quirky and obscure corners of the web. The list goes on and on and on. Interesting content is still out there. And there are plenty of people who still maintain personal sites and forums. But in 2025 you're not going to just casually stumbled on them. You have to actively go hunt for them because everything is now getting drowned by the sea of AI garbage. That's partly the reason why I started my people and Blogs (https://peopleandblogs.com https://peopleandblogs.com) series a couple of years ago, to help people discover other humans more easily. I think just accepting that the web is shit and we have to let it die is the wrong mindset. The web is, for you, what you make of it. If you want to find more interesting content, go search for it. And when you find it, share it on a space you control.
