    Searchable directories. Word of mouth. Community recommendations.

    Or just ask the person at the store that sells the things.

      Searchable directories like what? Word of mouth and community recommendations is just kicking the can, how are those people supposed to find new things?

        Like websites. Search indexing won’t suddenly become illegal.

        How do you find mortar mix, nails, books, tooth brushes, cats, porn, or cool web comics? Probably not ads. You go looking, or someone you know tells you about them.

        PS Because tone is hard to convey in text, let me just make it clear that I’m not trying to be combative or dunk on you or anything. I’m pretty against ads, but understand not everyone views the world as I do.
