I must be missing something, IMHO the web has much more spam and useless info than the Usenet. How many websites of what you consider to be useless information are there to every Slashdot site? The same principle is at work, read the useful newsgroups, ignore the rest.
There are other excellent SF reads such as short story collections and magazines. Try the best of year,Hugo awards or nebula awards collections . I also used to enjoy reading Analog and Issac Asimov's Science Fiction Magazine .

I believe the majority of the increase can be found in the mp3 groups
