I've said this since being a kid in the 90s.

There should be a huge collection (I called it a book or catalog at the time because the Internet wasn't widely available yet) that does all the different companies that do X things or provide Y service (kinda like yellow pages, but with more information than just a phone number) that is filterable in tons of ways (by default, region) and if you need or want anything you just look up who provides it and make your decision by the information available there.

But it should stay contained in that book (or whatever form it takes) and legally not be allowed outside of it. Every other piece of "free" content (podcasts, and people you find interesting) should actually be free.

But capitalism.
