#ScribesAndMakers May 16: Create a poll with three websites you reference for your creative work and one you don't. Ask people to guess the one you don't.
(I used a highly sophisticated method (python) to sort these poll options randomly. Ye shall get no true hints based on order.)

#ScribesAndMakers May 17: Link to, reply to, or summarize yesterday's poll and reveal the answer. The answer was Google. I haven't regularly used Google as a search engine in years and years. With DuckDuckGo trying to do DuckAI every five minutes, I did switch most of my browsers over to using Startpage (which uses Google but without the slop) but even that doesn't get used for writing research for the most part. There's too much slop on the internet to reasonably and efficiently get to accurate information by using a search engine.
