(Research as in finding info, not creating it)

I feel like it's so much harder to find the right places to get info from when so much of the web has been enshittified by AI blog grifts & sponsors these days. I do not want my only source to be a Wikipedia page - that sucks & I'm always left desiring more from it! (Not to mention more controversial aspects often go un- or barely mentioned for 'impartiality' reasons)

Maybe it's just a me problem & I'm not being analytical or probing enough as a lot of my former hyperfixs were fictional & facilitated partly through social media. I just really miss going down rabbitholes & failing that I'd like more empirical evidence for my perspectives as I think I've forgotten how I developed them in the first place

I have switched from Google to Kagi. I also confront what I have just ready with what I already knows and when something is wrong, I dig deeper. As somebody mentioned earlier, go along the citations string.
