Try searching "what's happening in russia?" on google.
The first 10 pages of results are major (((newspapers))) articles that are systematically pro-Ukraine. A few exceptions, are 2-3 pro-russia websites who paid (lmao) google to be on pages 2 and 3.
There are even pages of chriscuck societies that are being leveraged against Putin.
The dead internet theory is real... every time I search the first results are megacorporations / newspapers trying to push an agenda or brainwashing the population.
What can the free internet do to survive?

I’ve noticed this too.

it's been like this for a while. Google, youtube is (((news))) search service. You used to get results from peoples random blogs top of the list, now it's their opinion pieces

Check the facts, this video does not exist.

We were tricked into thinking Google IS the web. We need to bring back decentralized internet and directories (rather than search engines). Other search engines have the same index as Google so it's useless trying to find another.
Part of this is also lobbying from big entertainment companies wanting users to be sandboxed into areas where piracy is forbidden.
Will Web 3.0 solve this? I have no idea.
Projects like Urbit seem to want to address this issue. They want things to feel more like the Usenet days.
We need to build a new web, even if it's built on a new layer on top of the existing web.

STOP USING FUCKING GOOGLE, IT STOPPED BEING A FUNCTIONAL SEARCH ENGINE OVER TEN YEARS AGO!

I started to systematically search political topics both on google and yandex.
The difference is huge.
Noah Rodriguez
Nothing is happening in Russia, desu.
Us, ordinary people barely feel any impact from the sanctions. Food became slightly more expensive, some companies left and now we have that "the taste of the butthole" rebranding of McDonald's. And that's it.

Yandex gives out a lot of interesting things. Especially using reverse image search.

A) "what's happening in russia" is a terrible search query. First day using a computer?
B) Did you expect links to obscure/random websites - rather than quality, recognizable pages? Why? Remember that contrarian edgelords like you make up 1% of general population (maybe 10% in places like Bosnia). There's no point appeasing you, so Google doesn't do that.
Landon Miller
Remember when youtube removed dislikes because we were revealing their news to be bullshit?

>Will Web 3.0 solve this? I have no idea.
It can, but the issue is that most people are tech illiterate and seek convinence and active userbase above all else.
Liam Clark
>We need to bring back decentralized internet
yes.
unfortunately everything centralized is quickly subverted by jews and megacorporations.
Ted K. was right on this.
Jacob Bailey
>why is western media pro west
vatniks...everything you enjoy and consume belongs to the west including anime and this website
Jordan Peterson
and look at this shit they just added

>"what's happening in russia" is a terrible search query
no it's not, and I was not expecting obscure websites. I was expecting neutral standpoints.
stop putting unsaid words in the mouth of others.
Jordan Walker
yandex is really good for finding stuff cencored on google, wikileaks stuff etc.

>the taste of the butthole McDonald's
And? How is it? Any different? Better? Looks like some Russian cuties working there with some lickable buttholes.
Evan Gonzalez
Same thing. McDonald's localized its production, so all the buns, all the cutlets, all the sauces, all the vegetables, it was all from local producers that McDonald's cannot prohibit to produce buns and meat
Liam Anderson
from what I get almost nobody is interested in overthrowing Putin, or even oppose him.
I believe it's not out of fear as our media want us to think, right?
Oliver Taylor
Shit post troll only on the net and read books for information goodreads.com
Here's a simple list you can find great literature out there just start reading

we will see full-blown AI censorship very soon.
An alternative internet needs to be built, independent from mainstream infrastructure, that will be totally controlled soon.
Brandon Harris
There was something pointed out that you could do, then google fixed it.
If you searched like "World of Warcraft" or w/e it would show like 5,000,000 results.
But if you just started clicking Next Page over and over you would realize that most of those links were to the same page, and search results would end at like 300. You would get to page 28 and it would still say "5,000,000 results" but then at page 29 it would be like "14 Results."
Now if you try this, Google will just suggest you search different terms at like page 10.
James Morgan
they begin with not letting you voice negative opinions, what you dislike... and finish with killing you for saying "nigger" in your head
Jace Harris
been like this for 10 years, worsening even after that.
in 2000 there were tons of search engines, each one written differently giving different results.
now there are google/bing/yahoo and every other site uses those if you look into it.
i did, I was looking for several years.
searx is alright as a meta search, and then I only found one that claimed to have been written from scratch and provides different results.
this isn't just about politics either, it is any kind of search. everything is sanitised, censored, restricted. user sites almost don't exist when they used to be the bulk of what you would find with almost any search in the past.
Charles Butler
I dunno, I have never given a fuck about the golden arches and their food in the first place. I tried it like a couple of times and it was... average. Not great, not terrible.
It is just their new brand name and logo that everyone is mocking relentlessly since it was introduced. The new name is "It's tasty. Period" which is already pretty bad sounding, but if you drop a couple of letters, it becomes "the taste of the butthole". Still don't care about their food.
Adam White
Google gives nothing back but propaganda. Its only good for searching porn. They politicized everything else. Its not a search engine but an attempt to socially engineer society.
Daniel Johnson
also notice that the original page for dead internet theory has been purged.
Ian Carter
nvm you can actually still do this.
