It was tried before (e.g. Dmoz) and it does not work after it becomes popular.

I'm thinking more like just taking all the text files from 80-90s and making a separate static, frozen in time internet.

Dmoz was trying to replicate the Yahoo! style of directory, which requires being comprehensive.

Today we don't need comprehensive, we need maximum signal and minimum noise.
