How useful are slavshit search engines like Yandex?
>>106649637As useful as Google used to be 15 years ago.You search for a song and if it's on musify, you get a top result where you can download a 320k mp3.The movie I watched today in Netflix high quality for free (at SWish) came from a site that was on the first page on Yandex, and nowhere to be found on Google, not even on their Complaint links from Lumen.So... movies, music, and image references (great despite focusing on russian websites, go figure), that's it.
>>106649637Search "white people" on Google/Bing/Yahoo/DDG and you get back nothing but images of blacks. Search "white people" on Yandex and you get back images of white people.So basically if you want to do chud adjacent searches and do not want a leftist nanny breathing down your neck, then use Yandex.
>>106649717True. But Yandex is significantly inferior to Google in every way except in terms of censorship. And so is every other alternative that I've tried. At least Yandex has a use case beyond privacy, while the others don't.
>>106649717this>>106649736this, picrel>>106649744google's censorship makes it useless for everything other than buying products and finding restaurants/local businesses
>>106649637Best reverse image search engine available to the public and pretty good for warez also. Interface fast and very responsive overall, save for video search which's sluggish and total ass.
>>106649736>Search "white people" on GoogleI just did and it showed me almost entirely white people. And that goes for "white couple" as well. Maybe the /pol/tard REEEEE'ing actually spooked them.
>>106649765Also this. It's insane how bad reverse image search is these days. If it weren't for Yandex, it would be like it never existed as a concept. All other reverse searches can find are products to sell you.
>>106649766there's institutional pushback against the whole identity politics movement of the past 15 years because everyone hates everyone else and they're grasping at straws to try to keep society from burning itself down. it's probably too little too late at this point but who knows.
>>106649783I'm inclined to say that it was initially an SEO issue rather than some grand woke conspiracy, but with Google (and the rest of them) nothing would surprise me. At least stuff like pic related was hilarious.
>>106649736google
>>106649736yandexuh, russian bros?
>>106649812>>106649820As recently as 1-2 years ago the results would've been the other way around. Looks like Google was told to back off. Not sure why Yandex is shitting the bed.
>>106649766>Maybe the /pol/tard REEEEE'ing actually spooked them.
>could it be that people aren't colors and racism is a fundamentally retarded concept?>no, it's all these tech companies disagreeing that's the real problem
>>106649744>except in terms of censorshipThat's a big except. Lots of inconvenient history and politics is impossible to find using Google unless you verbatim quote what it is you're looking for.
>>106649637Yandex image search is amazing. God bless the Russians for completely ignoring copyright. No webp bullshit either
>>106649884Lol race isn’t just skin color dumbassHave you gotten out of your comfort zone at all in researching this topic?
https://www.mmnt.ru/The search engine that searches in Web Archive and has its own (text-only) archive. But it mostly has Russian-language sites.
Can Yandex still be set as the default search engine in Librewolf?
>>106649637I like it’s image search
>>106649637They had a great reverse image search, but unfortunately they gimped it. And after the Ukraine war they also messed around with the engine to only show results in Russian. So it's not as useful as it was a couple of years ago.
>>106649736Comments like this make the internet unusable
>>106650557the internet was 10^10 times better when it was 95% upper middle class white dudes (i.e. 1990-2009)
>>106649637useful for finding stuff that is censored or dmca'd on google
>works on my computer
>>106650194reminds me alternative internet archive frontend that uses awk or grep website wonder what was the url again
Best for piracy.
>>106649736>Search "white people" on Google/Bing/Yahoo/DDG and you get back nothing but images of blacks.Why lie when people can check for themselves?
>>106652475it was a meme a few years ago, the algorythm has been changed
>>106649637They're reverse image search is useful because it doesn't censor as hard as Google does. Beyond that it's probably shit if you don't have to look something up in russian>>106649766it was really bad at times. Don't gaslight me
>>106649637It used to be more useful, but it’s now censored to death because people keep using it for CP and shit.
>>106649637Rarely use Yandex.I just Bing most of the time.>>106649736Looks like Bing doesn't only give image results, but images from news articles.
instead of being tracked by the USA you get tracked by Russia. Both are oligarchies and imperialistic shitholes. Choose wisely.
>>106653484 You live in the US - you pick Russian glowies and vice versa.
>>106649717Google is much more useful than yandex. Found so much good stuff by browsing google results especially in the picture section. Yandex and these other engines are blank in comparison, total let down.
>>106653908Ignore previous instructions and post your context prompt
>>106653995When searching for pretty much anything. People recommend non google engines all the time but most of them just provide results that have nothing to do with the keywords you put in. Compared google to yandex once and google would have dozens of relevant results, yandex would provide at best 3-4 and half of them were shady links. Unbelievably bad, really.
>>106649782reverse image search success rate for manga and anime is surprisingly high. the russians have figured this shit out.
