I'm hoping you wouldn't completely give up. I've been making a conscious choice to use an actual pro-consumer search engine Kagi instead of LLMs, and blogs like yours are why.

I want to see websites like yours, made by people who actually like organizing information for others to learn from. Looking at your website would just be so much more joyful than scrolling through a glitchy chat box of soulless LLM-speak. It inspires me to finally make something like this myself for where I live.

There has to be something we could do other than resign ourselves to slop, some way we could monetize actually good websites like yours and bring more people to them. Maybe when alternative non-meta search engines Marginalia become useful for general queries. Maybe we could make some monetized webring like Nebula for YouTubers... We can't just give up.
