Everything in the “search engines” is fake too, filtering out anything that doesn’t align with the official narrative.

The peak of search engine effectiveness for relevant results was probably some time around 2010-2012.
At that point, the change toward promoting sponsored results had already started, but it was still effectively separated>
Since then, sponsors have had their search results integrated into the search results, clouding overall relevance, but here lately it has taken a big turn for the worse, and more-and-more you CAN’T EVEN FIND WHAT YOU ACTUALLY WANT. The amount of shadow censoring, burying, and memory-holing is getting very noticeable now.
It was heavenly when google search was a deep research tool and you could control the search words and what you could dig up if persistent.
