Comment on I Don’t Know How to Waste Time on the Internet Anymore (2018)

Comments

The first comment on this makes me nostalgic for the era when Google et al(tavista) weren't aggressively pruning and ranking results in order to give the "most efficient" results for a given query. There was actually a chance that your question would lead you to a small, active blog with a thriving microcosm encapsulated by a "blogroll". Nowadays, you mostly get a platform like Reddit or Quora, where the QC is handled by an aggregate[0]. Interactions feel much shallower these days too -- but maybe that depends on where you go.
