I've noticed this for years now. Whatever is masquerading as a search engine now doesn't even compare to what we had in the late 90s early 00s. We used to be able to find what people were saying and posting in search engines, now they just direct you to whatever establishment site or try to sell you something.

Funny how people associate conspiracy theories with being crazy, Like having an open mind and different approach to society makes you crazy automaticly

I’m 37, and have been watching this unfold in slow motion every year. It’s impossible to overstate the importance of this topic. We’re watching the literal demolition of our culture, our history, and our independent thought.

They've compartmentalised the Internet through the search engines. Something so stupid and selfish that I didn't think they would do it.

[thewhistlehasbeenblown]

For those of us that have been using the internet since the 90's, and were curious enough to spend hours scrolling, reading and going DEEP into search engine pages - this is highly disturbing.

You're 100% right.

It wasn't always like this.

This is censorship on an unthinkable scale.

It's not just 'selective results' on search engines, it's actively deleting content. When I research a controversial topic I collect links to articles so when I have an argument I can share them. Needless to say: the more controversial the topic, the more links are gone over time.

I've noticed this also. It's occurred to me that YouTube has become incredibly boring lately. Google is almost worthless on doing research anymore. It's actually pretty horrifying that they're censoring the results that much. Damn it man, now I'm going to have to start digging more.

[lvlndco]

For years I've noticed that the variety of sites that appear in search results has become severely limited. Back in the early days it was easy to find links to a bunch of different topics, and when searching on a topic it wasn't the same few major outlets coming up all the time.

[BlakeMadsen]

I've noticed this for years now. Articles, YouTube videos, blogs, forums, etc. that I used to visit in the late 2000s are now completely gone. I used to love looking up literally any topic and be able to come across some person's website with real, genuine advice which is now all replaced by corporate sponsored articles. Finding anything older than 10 years is damn near impossible

edit: I wrote a guide on a specific playstyle for a game on WikiHow in 2008 which is now nowhere to be found. I definitely didn't delete it and my account is still accessible.

I can pinpoint the exact day this happened. I was getting as much information as I could on the new coronovirus that started in Wuhan for my work. I could easily find 100s of obscure videos with only a few views coming out of Wuhan and information on Google about current events before they hit mainstream news. Used to spend half of my day doing it. Until it changed when WHO declared an official pandemic and global health crisis, it happened the same day. This was part of the pandemic preparedness plan to combat misinformation so I was expecting it. Yet the pandemic is over and the censorship still exists...

[janneman]

this is one of the reasons things like paper books are important, it can't be censored away so easily

Back in the late 90's (when I was in high school) I rember being overwhelmed by the amount of sites available when doing research for an assignment. I'm back in school now and I'm overwhelmed by the little options we have when doing research for assignments. And a lot of times it's the same information on most websites.

I'm almost 65, Jimmy. I lived the earliest days of the internet. Before the advertisers commercialized. That was the downfall. The Search Engines were a godsend back then. It was like going to the local library while sitting at your desk. What a miraculous feeling for researchers like myself.

Then the advertisers took over so when you went to do a search it was cluttered with advertising crap. At the same time Google became high and mighty and in conjunction with other techy nerds they threw a bottleneck into the information you received. Suddenly small regular Joe websites and documents couldn't be found because the internet tech gods required complicated programming tidbits in your website code that regular Joe’s either couldn't afford or had no time to develop. Hence the modern elitist internet, not for everybody, but only for the big dogs sucking the big bucks.

Then a few years ago I started to notice all searches sucked. They would only give you a few good links and the rest was trash. Often having nothing to do with what you were searching for. That's when I gave up on the Google and tech assholes and figured they were mostly young pieces of shit who's actual intelligence didn't go that far anyway. That is my conclusion. I am glad you brought it further attention. They are slimy nerds stealing the future of billions and leaving ignorance in their wake.

Or they’re just lying about how many results they actually choose to display…

This has been going on for quite awhile. Glad to see more people finally covering it

[Cynical_Finch]

this is why telling someone to _"do your own research"_ is pretty much now the equivalent of telling someone to walk into a library blindfolded.

[leeroyjenkins]

I noticed this awhile ago while doing research. Search engines no longer index the vast majority of non mainstream websites. Glad other people are starting to figure this out.
