The Size of the World Wide Web (worldwidewebsize.com)

So what's with the increased variance since 2021? Better tracking of pages maybe...

99% of the web is just scraper fodder now.

It indeed has changed. I wonder if we can change it back.

Someone ask Alan Kay how to fix today's web.

> Since January 15, 2025 we cannot receive any data from Google. They make it very difficult to automatically retrieve data from the search engine

Google became truly Evil. The sooner this evil company is gone the better.

Meanwhile I think we need a new variant of the world wide web. The old one is too easily broken, e. g. by Google and its pathetic attempt to install a private version here. Also aided by AI slop. Plans are inter-connected here.
