What about going back to a system of reputation and recommendations by reputable people?
I'm thinking stuff like web rings.
Or if you have a blog, maybe also have a curated set of pages you think are good, sort of your bookmarks, that other people can have a look at.
People are still on the internet and making cool stuff, it's just harder to find them nowadays.
- skwee357 9mo agoFew people posted here about the "intent" behind such content, i.e. today, most people are motivated by money because "this influencer told me I can make 10$k by writing blogs", so while you might find a blog you like, it's not immune to starting to accept "just put our link here for $$$ and we link back to you". Something similar happened in the Podcast and YouTube spheres, where every creator seems to be "sponsored" by these shady companies that allocate 70% of their revenue for creator payouts, for the sake of affiliate marketing. I really don't know what's solution though.
