Ugh! I feel you..

I actually get physically sick of some of the stuff I see these days. In my opinion, it's not just the content that's being created on social media, but the whole vibe, the visuals, almost everything, really... it's really exhausting.

Here! Cleanse you mind with a random Hello Kitty blog:

I hate it as someone who wants to make a living as a creator because I can’t just post my stuff and have it spread by word of mouth or expect people to find it thru tags, instead I have to learn how to finagle the algorithm so it shows up in a feed for as long as possible. It feels so artificial.

I completely agree with you! I've been trying to get get into forums instead of going to Reddit or other super-centralized website if I'm getting other information.

Thankfully a few search engines are out there that can help you get different results. This may tickle your fancy. I use the Ytoo! as my start page; it has a few search engines that are nice to use added.
  • Wiby - Has a nice 'surprise me...' feature that takes you to a random website
  • Marginalia Search - I have used this a few times over the past week and have enjoyed seeing the different results compared to Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo, etc.
