    5. There are no moderated newsgroups on Usenet
    6. Usenet costs a lot of money, and is technically difficult, to access

    And which mythical god has anointed these as "current" and "top"?

    google groups users may not realize the fundamental differences between
    the autonomous/decentralized usenet, versus the proprietary/centralized alphabet/google corporation; the isolation of google groups from usenet provides incentive for multitudes of google's users to seek free usenet
    news servers, apps, and websites, that will help them to stay connected
