I used to get the best information, websites, media material that I was looking from the rarest sources on the web, even probably rare to find given my geo location. Today I usually get information not by the quality, but from &amp;quot;the biggest brands&amp;quot; on the web. I was surprised that I didn&amp;#x27;t find one specific forum in over 20 search pages, but then I had checked my bookmarks and the site was still running and functional and contained what I was exactly looking by the keywords and other possible search factors. These days I just feel I get the information sources that are the most advertised or well branded, but do not reflect the accuracy of what I&amp;#x27;m looking for.</text><parent_chain><item><author>michaelgrosner2</author><text>I literally only hear that Google search is bad from HN.
