I wish they would drop dead links faster, I feel like 20% of the results I click on get 404 or the server is straight up down.

There is a lot of Internet to crawl

True, maybe just a report dead link button on the results page would be the way to go.

[–] jecxjo@midwest.social 1 points 1 year ago

That would get abused. You click it and it gets queued to check its status and you're right back to crawling.
