Did you notice that the world's most popular search engine has been almost entirely a facade for over 5 years now?
Not just a 'left leaning' or 'ivermectin censoring' engine, but an engine that is almost entirely an illusion.
The publicly accessible version of Google Search now has less than one-hundred-thousandth of the web searching ability it had in 2005.
Did you even notice?
Did you notice that nearly every other search engine (DuckDuckGo, Bing, Yahoo... even Russia's Yandex) is a similarly fake search engine?
Want more details?
Here's a post and a video from a couple of noticers.
But it very rapid is becoming real though.
Between new legislation and governmental bodies controlling Big Tech (See OFCOM and UK's OSA as an example, Brazil's attempts against X too.), ISPs and service providers colluding to block independent content (See Kiwifarms' very long history of fighting to stay alive, especially during #DropKiwiFarms), and the ever increasing bot and shill activity online to manufacture consensus on literaly anything, it's not a fallacious argument to argue D.I.T is at least happening right now.
I would have agreed in 2020, but if we are looking at the momentum of things, if anyting Internet is becoming more alive by the day.
