About uwusearch: (note, this webpage is highly a WIP)
A part of the goal of uwusearch is the idea of wanting to love things that other people love, even if you don’t quite get them yet. I want to make uwusearch a thing that can help people to appreciate things like how other people who care about them deeply do. If there’s something that you really love that you think will be hard for other people to find, submit it to me, and I’ll check it out myself and probably put it on here!
I know there’s this idea too that websites by bigger organizations will be more reputable sources of information, but honestly, I feel like precisely because they're bigger there’s less accountability a lot of the time. Not always though, as of course it depends on context. Just generally though, if you want to find actual people talking about a subject, good luck trying to find it from a search engine anywhere other than reddit. Maybe a few forums if you’re lucky. There are other places to see real people talking, on their own websites or to each other, I assure you.
Another thing is that I’m so tired of trying to find good yuri recommendations, only to be constantly hit with articles being like "look yuri" and it's just 1 picogram of subtext. I just want my yuri… Anyways, there are issues like this in all sorts of small pockets of different things I’ve wanted to use search engines for. If I search meteorology on a search engine, for example, I’m probably not going to come across amazing tools like earth.nullschool (I just checked on google and duckduckgo, nope). That’s odd, because if I had a friend who asked me, “hey, could you give me your 10 favorite websites on meteorology,” it’d definitely be in there.
