This is still a very valuable solution, but it does hold a big problem: the efforts are persistently disrupted, such that development and usership stagnates.

One imagineable interim alternative might be working directly with human service providers.

If I were personal friends with meetup.com workers associated with delivery of my search results, they would be happy to help me ensure the results match the planned events.

Similarly, if I were personal friends with google.com's network admins, they would be happy to ensure that I got the real front page.

Overall, this is a situation that has been developing for many years now.
