With Google being enshittified-Google, with a search that barely works and that you can't trust anymore, and now with DuckDuckGo adding AI, what is left? I sense an opportunity to create a new search engine that *just works*? Like the old Google that we all trusted and loved.

But it needs a way to avoid AI generated content that now pollutes all layers and levels of the web. Is the solution good old school webrings of HUMAN MADE blogs + good old FORUMS + good old WEB DIRECTORIES?

Unfortunately, maintaining a search engine requires a lot of money, and I don't think it's possible to get that kind of money unless you mention "AI" nowadays. So it's DoA. That's why I believe the idea of web rings + directories coming back is actually viable.
