I agree, this is a very valid complaint.
The sheer vastness of content available, combined with a Google
monoculture, combined with a concerted attempt to GAME the Google
monoculture, is making search and discovery hard. I honestly don't know
what to do about it. I don't have a better idea, unless we go back to
something like a directory-style curated experience, a-la Yahoo! circa
1998-ish. Not that that doesn't have it's own horrible problems, of
course.

Good one!
From: Seth J. Morabito
I'm going to respectfully disagree .. the
proliferation of
modern JavaScript frameworks that are designed to build
single-page apps, and make the web virtually impossible to
scrape or mirror in an efficient and simple way. ... every
single page is statically generated at publishing time and
absolutely nothing is dynamic.
It's not clear that it's the dynamic nature of the content he's
unhappy with; it might just be that having stuff scattered across a
zillion personal pages (be they blogs, or whatever) is going to make
it hard to find the useful one when needed, and that's why he's
cranky. (Well, more so than he usually is.... :-) Noel
