I'd love it if, when I need information on a particular thing in history (I write historical fiction and hate being inaccurate when I include details), I could go to a database site that keeps primary sources and secondary analysis on every topic under the sun, and then navigate to the correct period and category, and find the concept I need information on, and be easily able to look at every period primary source or good secondary source that mentions that thing.
If both social space and Useful Information were centralized, by an authority that benefits more from making it usable and efficient than from dark patterns, "going online" and "looking something up" could both be such pleasant experiences.
