Well, not exactly.
I guess you didn't hear about the "farmer update" made at the end of February, which de-ranked a large number of content mills? You know, those sites written by unqualified hacks, with crap content and lots of ads? Sites like Associated Content, Examiner, eHow, ezineArticles, Suite101, etc. All the worthless junk sites that used to come up at the top of Google searches, because they were designed around "
farming" search engine queries (and writing any old crap for readers) instead of quality content for a purpose. The site
seomoz has a full list, including devaluation %'s for the sites.
Crackpot blogs need to go next. I'm tired of accidentally coming across sites owned by insane, tinfoil hat-wearing zealots. (For example, all those 9/11 conspiracy sites run by political/religious kooks.)

Blame the ISPs. A lot of them have quit carrying usenet.

You think like the members of
TVPreservation.com. Retail or homemade, whatever quality can be found, preservation is important to fans, collectors and historians alike.
Take care.
