As I see it, maybe 1% of the web is not junk.

I think we need an alternative search engine based on community vetting.

I.e. you submit your url to the search engine but it isn't present in all search results until a certain number of real people will say it's meaningful and useful. You can do that by only showing it first in 1% of search results and ask people to rate it.

You don't have to index 10 billion websites, you just have to index 1 million of useful websites.



Agree. If you would like you can read an article where I propose how such system could be implemented: https://medium.com/@TautviIas/it-is-time-to-create-a-decentr...


I wonder if Medium would get included in the index.
