Google is pants and the narrowing of collective imagination

Google is the wrong trousers?

At this point in the game, I would be shocked if parenting advice was anything other than pure blog spam. Best to take any advice you find online with a grain of salt anyway.

I give it about 5 years before something like web rings reemerges. It's not just Google being pants. FB, Twitter, Discord, and Reddit are all pants too.

Trust continues to decline in all these information aggregators. Eventually, people find sites they like, and use those sites to find other sources, and it'll be web rings all over again.

I would say it takes a little research beyond "tell me what to think, tell me what to do". My best advice would be youtube. This can go from something like looking at how someone like mark rober inspires little children to make, to genuine advice channels. you could also try wiby.me for an oldweb search.

EDIT: as someone who grew up on the internet sort of how it is today, I would strongly recommend you restrict your child's socialization online to only friends they know in real life. being able to talk to others is something you aren't ready for at that age and it can lead to serious mental harm. I'd also recommend you throttle their bandwidth so they can't get addicted to streaming video.

I was in the same boat when my first child was born. Pick any topic, you almost always have first few pages filled with same content which I found common sense rather than really useful pieces of advices. At the time I managed to find what I was looking for on 10+ page. This made me to start collecting books on topics instead of relying on internet tomake it available to me.
