. . . It’s not always about being censored or not. Today’s algorithms include a range of tools that affect searchability and findability. For example, the Joe Rogan interview with Donald Trump racked up an astonishing 34 million views before YouTube and Google tweaked their search engines to make it hard to discover, while even presiding over a technical malfunction that disabled viewing for many people. Faced with this, Rogan went to the platform X to post all three hours.
Navigating this thicket of censorship and quasi-censorship has become part of the business model of alternative media.
Those are just the headline cases. Beneath the headlines, there are technical events taking place that are fundamentally affecting the ability of any historian even to look back and tell what is happening. Incredibly, the service Archive.org which has been around since 1994 has stopped taking images of content on all platforms. For the first time in 30 years, we have gone a long swath of time – since October 8-10 – since this service has chronicled the life of the Internet in real time.

The fun part is, you get to see things irrespective of the algo that is running google, which has almost 100% of the search market. And it does not matter whether you use: DDC, or anything else.
The advantage of the above, and I should especially mention yacy, allows you to see things that are buried today ....
Thank you, redtoe-skipper! I've saved your comment to disk for future reference.
I'll mention that yandex is often far better than most Western search engines (including Brave browser's, which I use for most casual searches) when looking for anything the Cabal might want to censor or hide.
I like Yandex.
Give Yacy a spin. It is already a 15 year p2p endeavor.
IT is an easy installation, and you can play around with the standard websearch. Once you have that, you can focus on certain websites and topics....
The advantage here is: total privacy,anonymity enhancement, no algo. So, you really have to get used to tweaking your searches .....
Though, Giburu and Mojeek also have nice features, the first is dependent on google ( meta) and Mojeek is rather small. That said: it is easy to compare results.

With chat4.o there is a host of new possibilities. After some promting, we got a total blue print for political subversion. And guess what: it fits current affairs to the T. Even the searchresults are amazing.
Wow, thank you for sharing. Lots of material to go through.
