Wikihow, about.com et al sucks badly, it's internet pollution

So, you suddenly got curious about howto shave properly, or howto fish or whatever. You use the biggest information source known to man a.k.a. the internet and types "howto X" into your favorite search engine. More likely than not, you'll get results from wikihow, about.com, wikia and other so called content-farms.

Now, the problem is that those sites in general are CRAP. The articles are written by people who don't know anything about the subject. The quality is so low that it becomes directly dangerous to human health. There are for instance articles about depression that gives you 10 steps to handle your depression. Those steps are not actually steps, but arbitrary recommendations for what to do when you're depressed. But sites like that are not actually helping. For instance, I came across an article about depression during research for this article (sorry, I don't want to link to those terrible websites) where meditation is one of the steps. Meditation might or might not help, but it's really far down in the priority list of needed actions for someone depressed. If you read a professional self-help website (provided by state-founded organizations) you realize how extremely depressing the wikihow (et al) articles are.

Perhaps a depression related wikihow article might be to "some" help for someone for some reason, but the sad part is that wikihow (and others) outranks more usable resources in google's search result.

I think those sites should be deindexed from all search engines, seriously. They piss me off.
