I remember webrings. We stopped using them for a reason. It’s not a solution for diving into specific details of a topic.
Neither is the AI slop that Google is putting at the top of the page, but for different reasons.
Webrings were the youtube recommendations by people who actually knew, not deep diving. Wikipedia is the diving board for deep diving.
