Just over the last few years it went virtual reality, blockchain and crypto crap, and now chatbots.

What will the next fad be? I'd like to know so I can convince one of these VC ghouls that they should give me money for vaporware.

I am becoming more and more convinced that we are going to have to RETVRN to webrings and manually curated directories

Can you recommend any directories/webrings in particular? I'm obviously looking back on things with rose-tinted glasses--I wish Google would just work properly like it used to--but I think it's a good way to break out of the big tech bubble.

I've seen a couple of them out there. Discoverability is utter trash but I think that's what you'd expect from super niche "welcome to my intersite!" type microcommunities
