Almost everything what I experienced with "The Internet". But one is missing. You ever planned a travel over internet? It's a hell written by Kafka.

@iramjohn I wonder if there is room for an open project to create a search engine where just pages get crawled/indexed which reach a certain level of the 'credibility' score. Basically, we as users who want proper information would via a browser plugin 'vote' for the credibility of the page we see, and if high enough it would get indexed.
'credibility' as in "I see this page is not a link farm", and such criteria.

@iramjohn As long as we allow ourselves to be treated in these ways, people willing to treat us in these ways will treat us in these ways. Some people are more than happy to abuse others for their own benefit. And they are not being restrained.

How do we stop them? (Hint: I think it's good government, good regulation, good policing, good courts. Am I wrong?)

@brent @iramjohn I’m struggling to work out how “not allowing myself to be treated in these ways” would actually look in practice.
