With the Web becoming filled with LLM-generated babble and toxic bullshit, there is an historical precedent for a solution to the problem of finding information on the internet.

Once upon a time, there was a project called DMOZ, and it was a *human-curated* hierarchical link directory, divided into subjects.

I think that's a brilliant thing, and provided it was still 100% human curated, there would be great utility in such things -- each curator would be assigned to a "beat", a subject area where their existing knowledge allows them to identify real human-made content, curated for accuracy, and link it in the directory, with an entry and some kind of automated polling to ensure that dead links are brought to the curator's attention for maintenance or removal.
