HIVE definitely reminds be a bit of the early internet. I try to use alternatives to megacorp services online. I search with Startpage or DuckDuckGo, but the top results are still often what you describe: corporate portals and garbage AI articles that only appear to be what I want at first. Websites I used to like lost their way chasing clicks and often got bought up by bigger companies eager to profit at the expense of the old reputation for creativity. I often shop directly from manufacturers. I have studiously avoided Temu, AliExpress, and the like. It's not good in general.

I agree. I absolutely refuse to buy from them and can't believe people do. We need a corporate free internet - Hive could be it.
