Everyone here is familiar with the poor experience we are faced with on the modern web, e.g. the recipe sites where the actual recipe is always preceded by the entire history of man, or search results consisting of copy pasted generic content appearing on a multitude of sites, or the sites flooded by fake reviews, all with the customary multitude of pop ups and noise.

However, I find if I search in Japanese, there is a lot more of the traditional small web, written by real people motivated by (possibly) nothing more than the desire to share and interact, rather than optimise some kind of metric. There could be many explanations, but regardless, Japan has always had a unique Galapagos culture so may not generalise.

For those who interact with the web in different languages, how do you find the experience compared to the current English experience?
