Genuinely asking out of curiosity, but at what point does it not become easier to just get off of those services than to maintain something to make them useable (only just by the sounds of it in your case)?

What we need is an AI agent that runs locally, crawls the web, figures out what you want to see, and turns off any javascript when you look at it.

I rely on the intelligence of my own mind to do exactly that, beeing able to observe yourself while you do things can be a invaluable skill (and it is in fact the foundation of all artistic skill)

The problem is connections to other people using those services as information sources. For example, there is some genuinely valuable stuff on HN, so I stay, but a lot of noise leaks in as well, and it’s non-trivial to separate. (And people vary on what they consider signal.)
