So the dream of the web - where everyone comes together and learns from each other - becomes a nightmare as information of any value is replaced by worthless lines and irrelevant promotional messages.

I'd like to know about the feasibility of a parallel web, one without the continual selling, the need to be SEO optimised and competition for search engine eye time, the continual exposure to blogs, twits, forums and message boards. One where simple, plain, empirical information is available for viewing by all.

And no, this is not a bit of guff for wikipedia.
