Edit: Thus, the irony is: Many people discuss the “the web never forgets” phenomenon, whilst in its day to day use, the real problem is not unwanted storage beyond your original intention, but that info, help, etc. given here and today, will be “lost” tomorrow, needing the same info being reformulated again and again, instead of a global attack on this much evident access contradiction: It’s all there, but since they all solely rely on “searching”, you won’t find it anymore (with reasonable “cost”), so it’s produced anew and anew. Of course, there had been strivings to attack this, at least in big-scope fields. Yahoo’s cataloging things, anyone? Cannot be automatted enough, is too expensive, is hence done with. Today’s “overview” / “comparison” sites are mostly conceiled advertising, i.e. they push select offerings which pay for that, if the sites don’t secretely belong to that manufacturer wanting to push his product to begin with.

And again, it’s not a question of “it’s free, hence we can’t expert the effort” - first, all the effort is given, bad very badly applied, it’s squandered for a very good part; second, what would be 100 bucks a year, or say 75, for real good, useful things you’d have easy access to? Always remember the tco, which nowadays can be immense, for many such “free” or ostensible “cheap” offerings.

In our times, much “secretarial work” isn’t done anymore where it would produce big returns, be it in today’s corporations or in “communities” in all sorts, hence incredible waste of time and efforts given - and literally an “internal brain drain” - to mean tasks.
