Ask HN: How do you find non-commercial content on the Web nowadays?
2 by hk__2 | 2 comments on Hacker News.
When you’re interested by a new subject, how do you find interesting information on the Web amidst all the ad-filled websites that try to sell you stuff? For example, say you want to improve the Wikipedia article "Pickaxe". Excluding everything related to the tool in Minecraft and other games, all I get on Google are a bunch of websites selling pickaxes, some dictionnary entries, some companies named [a variation of] "Pickaxe". There must be a couple non-commercial websites talking about pickaxes but none of them appear in the first 5 pages of Google results.
