I can relate to this so much. My interests tend to be pretty niche and I have little interest in most of the major online websites. The scale at which Google has hollowed out the non-corporate internet boggles the mind. The earlier web era felt like this unimaginable realm of freedom and exploration to me. I stumbled on countless novel sites that were interesting, helpful, and/or entertaining. That content has decreased by orders of magnitude since then. These days most searches return a full page of SEO slop that all summarize (badly) the same source from years before. There's usually zero new information, personal touches, or community attached.
