I'm also bummed that search engines no longer help you find the most popular reliable or semi reliable website for a topic.
This used to be best within niches but now I really need a hunan to recommend niche sites because I no longer consider search engines reliable. They're something to be navigated but not trusted.
Though that's also on all the folks who gamed search engines to boost their traffic. It isn't only the companies.
@futurebird For me at least, positive feedback creates anxiety around..."oh no! Should I write more stuff like this, someone liked this so maybe I need more of this. What if they were just trying to be nice? Oh, it must be terrible and they didn't want to be mean." etc
Keeping things secret means I'm only working with my own internalized tastes and critiques. At least once I'm done I've *mostly* made peace with that. Which I think is necessry to handle external critique.
@futurebird I always wonder if people who don't find "post scarcity" exciting and utopian are people who lack the ability to feel a fullness/enoughness or if it's more like stuffing yourself on purpose hoping to see how much you can take (like a world record for longest nails).
There are these perfect days I've had when I've felt that fullness and I've always thought that's what post scarcity would feel like.
