Because you don't find them visually interesting or because of their content?
There's a whole world of modern unindexed handcoded html + light js sites that really hearken back to the mid-90s web, and they're often part of webrings.
I joined a web ring last year, but I'm uncertain about it. Modern web rings tend to automate updates to the next/prev buttons, so I'm never sure what I'm linking to. The web ring owner acts as curator, but I don't know how much effort they put in to keep slop or other undesirable content out.
I'm part of one and I don't think it really promotes discoverability. What could work would be some kind of search engine restricted to said webring to make a button to list similar articles. At least I would click on such a button!
The no ai webring is full of really unique stuff. There’s definitively people out there still doing webrings. Now we need a metawebring.

Slop sucks and all, but those abandoned "let's make pages look like geocities" sites are pretty tiresome.

As someone who wasn't around in their true heyday I'm all for it.
