Setting aside for a moment the fact that virtually no one online has noticed that essentially every web search engine is now a search engine illusion (a facade - a 'Potemkin village'), we have a second issue at hand:
When these search engine illusions become the topic of discussion, virtually no one has any clue how powerful the search engines were before the illusions arrived, or how they were used.
This shouldn't be possible absent the killing-off of just about everybody who was using the Internet between 1998 and 2020.
I have no explanation for it.
There's some kind of Internet (maybe even reality) manipulation taking place that shouldn't be possible.
I work with someone who constantly states "I know whats going on! I watch FOX and Google everything". He thinks he's ahead of the curve. When I told him FOX is just CNN with American flags and country music and Google is highly manipulated he says I don't know anything and he's more informed. Okay!
To be fair. FOX has been picking up an increasing amount of the type of content we see here over the last few years.
They aren’t up to speed, but every occasion they’ll get close for a few minutes.
