The other day I saw someone posting about wanting to bring webrings back.
Unfortunately, it's really hard to get people to care about things. "This site is convenient and your friends are here" trumps "and it's run by nazi sympathizers" for most people, somehow.
Until the Nazism starts leaking through.
Like, I don't really feel the urge to bring up the horrifying treatment of Latin American peoples every time I see someone drinking a Coca-Cola.
But when Twitter is filling up my feed with CatTurds, I'm inclined to leave.
I remember webrings. We stopped using them for a reason. It's not a solution for diving into specific details of a topic.
Neither is the AI slop that Google is putting at the top of the page, but for different reasons.
Webrings were the youtube recommendations by people who actually knew, not deep diving. Wikipedia is the diving board for deep diving.
