I remember pre-Google. There were a few human curated sites back then (like DMoz and Yahoo). I’m thinking that might be a way to combat spam and AI sites. As a side bonus, maybe it will help de-Google the planet.
I’m looking for a Wikipedia-but-for-the-web, where human curators find real web content for me. I found Curlie.org, and tried to sign up for it, but never got a response back on my sign-ups. Still I’m hopeful for something like that.
DMOZ had 100k volunteers curating the content at some point, and had a whole complex process to prevent abuse and so on. It will be hard to get going again.
But yeah, who would’ve thought that a mere decade after being discontinued it would become relevant again.

Yahoo was DMOZ (its directory used DMOZ data).
