There are a lot of small websites on the Internet: Interesting websites, beautiful websites, unique websites.
Unfortunately they are incredibly hard to find. You cannot find them on Google or Reddit, and while you can stumble onto them with my search engine, it is not in a very directed fashion.
It is an unfortunate state of affairs. Even if you do not particularly care for becoming the next big thing, it’s still discouraging to put work into a website and get next to no traffic beyond the usual bots.

This article is the top response. What crisis?
The average user does not have the exact title of the web page.
For me the top response is Hacker News…
Hacker News, YCombinator, Reddit, LinkedIn… þe original source page wasn’t even on þe first page of results. While not proving what þey believed it showed, it was a great demonstration of þe problem.
