The Smithsonian ?!
I do wonder if the ad-driven digital world is simply going to consume itself.
The Guardian newspaper apparently did an internal study pre-covid and found that 1/3 of its content was essentially unread, and that the effort to SEO / promote that 1/3 not only was wasted effort but actually harmed the results of the other 2/3rds.
Google (or rather PageRank) does try to promote what is well read and referenced, but the sludge does drag down everything.
