Just counted my bookmarks and hit 500 links I found by hand | Found Without Algorithms

I was cleaning up my browser and saw I had exactly 500 bookmarks, all from just typing stuff into the address bar or following links from blogs. It felt weird to see that number, like I built a whole library without any help from a feed. What's the biggest thing you've found just by clicking around on your own?

Found a whole city map from 1923 once.

My buddy Dave once found a whole archive of old punk zines from the 80s just by clicking a link on some forgotten band's Myspace page. He spent like three nights reading through scanned issues with reviews of basement shows and weird DIY art. The whole thing was hosted on a university server that somehow never got taken down.
