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.
This isn't correct and I suspect that, assuming you're over 40, if you think on it a bit you'll recall that it's not correct.
There was no organic steering of anything in this particular case.
We're seeing some entity with enormous power putting a hard swift kibosh on the taxcattle's ability to access unfiltered knowledge. The crippled fake search engines are helping to move everyone to AI for information. Once that move is complete, the censorship, deception and lies we already see present in Grok and ChatGPT (especially ChatGPT) will increase a thousand fold.
Other than those two things, I love your comment.
For those reading who might not quite grasp what TaQo means when he says "no matter how obscure": Even as recently as 2012, you could submit a query of 16 random characters in a row (eg "h29ql4b4fpx8ee2") and you would often get a result for a page that contained that exact string of characters. That's simply the reality of what you get when billions of people spend years adding trillions of things (sometimes very large things like entire databases built offline over decades) to the Internet.
It's pretty correct for adults in my region...Your mileage may vary.
Children, who didn't have fully developed brains at that time, were excluded.
