Wanted to ask you about this article, how do you remember the early days of the internet (I was sadly too young at that time). Do you wish it back? And do you think it can ever be like that again? I would be very interested

    Relatedly, I miss getting only a handful, or even zero, results from a Web search. That, in itself, was useful information: The keywords for which I have searched do not exist on the Web; I can stop looking now. I’ll never forgive Google for fucking up search so badly by including “similar” results. Why do I need hundreds of pages that have nothing to do with what I want to know? It’s just a giant waste of time, but, of course meant more clicks in their site.
