Has anyone else noticed how the internet has become absolute dog shit these days?
All the search engines are basically running Google which basically filters to give you exclusively Corporate Sales content. It is impossible to find personal webpages anymore. In the way back days it was easy to find active forms and personal pages for almost any topic. Blogs and GeoCities sites with guys showing all their upholstery work, FAQs and Walkthroughs, small business promotions.
Web Forums had been bustling places of content creation and sharing. I've recently been looking at doing a Baja Bug and everything out there basically died around 2012. I think we all know what happened, everyone turned to Facebook Groups, Reddit and Instagram - but all of those sites absolutely suck in your ability to search, communicate, and have anything resembling a conversation.
Google Image is also broken. Once you could use it to find build threads, crazy swaps or projects, etc, now? It's just taking you to eBay listings, Car Sales listings or most importantly - Pinterest.
1995 - ~ 2005 is going to be looked back on as a golden Era not unlike the way we think about the "50's".
