The promise of search: no need to navigate explicit ontologies. Google will
crawl the internet for you. Simply type what you desire and the output will
appear! Instantaneous luxury knowledge.

However, the best answers are found by prefixing a query with "reddit". These
small communities, subreddits, are specialists in their domain.  They are the
Encyclopedians of the internet, pulling together the relevant information into
threads. Google is dead!

This Library of Babel can be deciphered, but only through local custodianship.
A custodian, albeit self-interested, can establish "grassroots way-finding" in
relationship with readers. They act below Dunbar's threshold.
