A while back I saw an r/woodworking post where someone was asking for resources for woodworking plans. A few people told them to Google it.

If you Google it you get absolute horseshit. Just page after page of useless results. So we need to stop the fucking "let me google that for you" era and recognize that search is entirely broken in the modern day. We NEED human recommendations and information sharing now more than ever.

@lori it looks to me that the age of "just Google it" has destroyed the link graph because people search for instead of link to things. So Google wiped out its own value proposition.

Maybe we'll end up with a Yahoo directory again?

At least you can mostly get good results by searching in known forums.
