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?

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

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.

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.
