Aaaaaaand It’s Gone……..The Internet is Empty
About a week or two back I started noticing a degradation in search results while scrolling and doing online searches. What I was seeing was the same results in every page as I went through looking for old articles and information. It seemed like I was in a perpetual loop of the same output. I did not follow up on the issue until today when I suddenly came across a video from another guy who noticed the exact same thing.
The internet has been hollowed out to a shell. Perhaps its even being deleted wholesale.
I don’t know what is happening exactly. But you cannot get results anymore on typical searches. Try it yourself if you doubt me. There are algos controlling what you get to view and no matter how deep you go it keeps coughing up the exact same pages.
Maybe just watch this video as it will help explain the phenomenon.
YES, They Really Are “Deleting” the Internet And it’s WAY Worse Than You Think.
What search engines are you using? They are not all built (controlled) equally.
Duck Duck Go. Did you test yours to see results? Check the video. This is real unfortunately.
Duck Duck Gone!. Good find, Farmer. This is the kind of thing that might even scare suburban housewives.
It must say something about our time that search engines are designed to prevent searches.
The guy in the video was implying that results can be tailored to specific users. So each of us specifically might be seeing diferent results. Some people may be getting very little info whereas others with higher authorization levels can see it all. Not sure if that is the case but AI certainly has the capability to deliver different output on a per person basis depending on a multitude of factors. Are we heading into an information drought perhaps? Knowledge is power. But what if you have none at all?
I generally use Brave/Google search and double-check with Yandex when I need more. Search word choice, date range and specific terms or phrases helps. Try adding “debunked” or “scam” to your search and it may include more alternatives.
The value of the tent for historical documents just skyrocketed!
Thats another thing. I have a long list of vaccine injury information. I was reviewing recently and noted a large number of the links do not work anymore. The articles and links are gone. I could not find some even with careful detailed seaches. Now I am trying to save stories to PDF’s instead.
I’ve been doing that for a while now. I noticed some were disappearing a few years ago.
