The reason for the "curation" initiative was the sheer quantity of missing data on the other tools. Dead Youtube links, dead Twitter links, dead 4chan image links, broken search results, etc. It can really throw a dig off when something you search for is there but the tool shows it's not!
Also when Qagg went down there was an incredible sense of responsibility to help fill that gap in the tooling. Too many tools is a much better situation than too few.
