the internet is also full of commercialized SEO and AI crap, really not fit for human consumption.
despite making such an incredible tool for communication and immediate information sharing, the perversities of capitalism have made the internet increasingly boring, useless, and commercial on first glance.
it's harder to get to the good stuff. the companies that own the infrastructure would prefer you stay somewhere they can serve you ads. It results in me feeling like nothing worthwhile is on the computer.
I made this page to highlight some of the stuff that is on the internet that still feels worth going on the computer for.
