😎 Awesome lists about all kinds of interesting topics

In the days before "google it" was a synonym for "find it", we had different curated link sites, and even pyhsical magazines with hand-curated lists of links that people interested in a certain topic might find interesting. This still exists today in some forms, for example the "awesome lists" that you see for some programming topics, for example https://github.com/sindresorhus/awesome .
Just like there was a time when 90%-99% of all email traffic was viagra spam, I imagine in the future most of the internet by volume will be AI-generated trash, and those in the know will still circulate lists of where the other 1% can be found.
An even brighter scenario is that someone, maybe a kid tinkering in their garage, figures out how to make a search engine that finds the good stuff, doesn't immediately die to AI bot farms' SEO efforts, and is financially viable.
