I remember browsing the 'old internet' and I'd legitimately find a lot of cool things on random people's blogs/niche sites, and most of the time I would receive exactly what I was looking for.Then, probably around 2016, it shifted dramatically, and it started being more like>oh, you searched for 'why X is good'?>no can do, but here's an article from a mainstream newspaper where a kike explains 'why X is bad' insteadThis apparently happened as a result of search engines prioritizing "high authority" sources and "fighting misinformation" but it feels like it completely neutered the internetWonder if the paid search engines are any good or if the surface web is condemned to be this bland corporate-state propaganda machine from now on.
Cool post, thanks for sharing
>>530342133>I would receive exactly what I was looking for. OP is an epsteinian
>>530342133Google was always shit, natural language searching automatically leads to this endpoint. Bring back true Boolean searches.
Ask Jeeves was that guy
internet stopped being a nerd space and became corporatized
Who here beta tested Gmail?
>>530342133This is where AI agents are now superior to search engines. Google Gemini directly answers shit now with no ads or kikery, just like Google search *used* to do before the Covid bullshit.
>most of the time I would receive exactly what I was looking for.thats more like wandering around in a random store seeing if something catches your eyein between old style searching and AI there were "featured snippets" that just copy pasted paragraphs from top results which sucked. AI made searching for specific information and answers a lot easier. i dont even remember how i would find something like that in the old days like "can i take this medication for X" "what if fucked up or broke Y what now". it would be like going to your local library and finding a book about it
>>530342582My parents did, but I don't believe I had a gmail account until it was out of beta. I was still using my ISP's email service while gmail was in beta.
>>530342133Use mojeek and wibi for the most unique results. Then yandex. Very similar to old internet
>>530342133>around 2016>This apparently happened as a result of search engines prioritizing "high authority" sources and "fighting misinformation"It was happening before then (2012/2013) but at that time it was mostly money-driven. They went from pure 'ranking' (based on visits, etc) to people buying placement in search-results to full control & censorship in under 5 years.
>>530342133It's called project owlThey raped everything that made the internet goodThe entire Biden presidency you literally couldn't write 'Fuck' in Youtube commentsNoticing was completely banned
>>530342193WOULD
>>530342133SEO destroyed the internet at first and opened the door. Now the floodgates have been opened to all forms of scam capitalism and worse.
>>530342637>AI>no kikery
>>530342133All of Googles logos are satanic emblemsclearly they play ball for the jews.They have a monopoly on many thingsand they keep making more tracking typesof things mandatory, like an email & cellphone.All the search aggregate is going to be whatthey are comfortable with people seeingand in another 10 years if things gotworse how easily discernment couldbe controlled if that's what people correlatewith knowledge, to search for it on theinternet and to even compare those sources.Like the search assistant Ai can easily gatherdata from the aggregate and summarize it.All information is in line to be controlled.Even the trump is shabbos goy he tookthe firewall off during his 2016 run whiletalking about the deep state
>>530343088It was started by jews idiot
I remembered my geocities website, it's down now. Quite sad, was a beautiful time but it's lost now.
>>530342133Basically post 2016 they added 'context' to all your search queries, so instead of the search engine going >Oh he looked for "Jews are bad? Okay find websites with headings and body texts with that phrase in it"It goes>Well jews are obviously good, so we need to give him websites where it contains the phrase as a hypothetical but the heading/body text are all pro-jewish!
>>530343165What was what are you talking about
>>530342133>normal speech syntax search querydo people really?I was quite adept at knowing what keywords to use as my search string in order to get extremely accurate and relevant results. But it generally wouldn't be in the form of a sentence that you would speak to someone. Then I remember, it suddenly just kind of... stopped working. I actually had to dumb down my google powers and pretend I was speaking to a magic robot in order to get anything halfway decent, but as you say it was just what they wanted me to see, not what I wanted to see. Sad really, symptomatic of the shift from the internet being a cool autist club to it becoming a marketing data extraction resource for sheeple
>>530342133What the fuck is a google?
>>530342582Possibly. I needed an invite to make an account.
>>530343292
>>530343252>“Google clearly plays ball for the jews”It was started by jews. The logos are all freemason symbols because when google was started they convinced masons (who mostly served jews at that point) that making jewish kids rich with darpa tech would spur the economy and create new billionaire inventors by inspiring them. However, it was another jewish scam. Why are there hardly ever any random christians that become billionaires in business at the age of 25
>>530343417
>>530342133Just use WYBI OR MOJEEK.
>>530342524that's why you're a product for some jewish company now, speaking as a fag that found really good gay porn of white guys having sex on the old internet along with hookups with more whites while the internet was still transitioning from the old to the corporate controlled to now where it's near impossible to get with white guys unless you basically pay some jewish corporation money for access to them and all you get for free now are niggers mutts or old guys
>>530343418Anyway it doesnt matter, Chinas BAIDU had the first index used for internet search and Serjey Brine cited their project in the google foundations and essentially stole it from Baidu.
>>530343284That always bothered me too. First "oh shit normies are going to ruin this" moment in like '02
>>530343418
>>530342133I used to do threads on how it would say like millions of results but stopped getting anything after like top 200 and they were all just large corporation controlled. I use yandex now
>>530343418Well its clear that they have been allowedforward and they have the monopolyon the information that paints people'sworld views.They are shabbos goys.
>>530342133Websites optimized for search engines rather than search engines being web crawlers where you had to customize searches to find specific things. Then search engines would optimize further by wanting you to find what you want in fewer clicks to lead you to use their website. This led to jewgle becoming top dog. Then jewgle wanted more revenue, so they changed how the search worked leading users to have to do multiple searches to find what they wanted, leading to more chances for ads to be seen or clicked leading to more profits (think the (sponsored) searches if you use jewgle without an adblocker).Now with the AI search they can directly link ads more easily and don't even have to disclose it is a sponsor leading to more people clicking and even more profits. In addition to the AI search being dogshit leading to even more searches or suggested searches for you to click and pull up more ads. Needing to do more searches as well generates more data on you and links further accounts of yours together allowing them to have more valuable data of yours to sell to data brokers to then feed back to the government and other buyers.Or to shortly summarize, search engines got shitty due to lust for profit.
I like Kagi.
>>530342325> Google was always shitNo so. Back in the old times google was practically omniscient. It could find anything. The web felt truly endless, google would return hundreds of pages of results. If some search string existed anywhere on the internet google would find it.
>>530343586Facebook going mainstream around ‘07-08 is what killed the internet imo. Combined with the release of the iPhone, it brought hundreds of millions of normies online and radically transformed the culture of the internet in just a few years.
>>530343284Yes I was a Google power user too, using tags like intitle: and date range modifiers and such to get precise results. In recent times they just started ignoring those tags and showing me what they want me to see. And they assume whatever I'm searching for is something I want to buy, so shopping results get highest priority.In using AI agents for searching I can see that these agents are using a Google Api directly and they can still use these advanced search tags and modifiers. So the original Google search features still exist, they're just not for "users" anymore
>>530342899reduced yiddery* ya pedantic fuck
>>530342582I didn't but i've had a hotmail account since 1997, since right before M$ bought them *shrug*
>>530343925It’s temporary. They’re making AI seem relatively good in comparison now in order to get you hooked on using it. Once you’re hooked, the kikery gets added back in
>>530342891SEO was always a thing. You just had to learn to skip over the junk.
>>530343631
>>530342133Gotta type reddit at the end of every query to get anything somewhat relevant now.
>>530342193those people fucked up
>>530342133Google rose to popularity precisely because it could find what you wanted better than other search engines. Other search engines prioritised those sites who were paying them for advertising over relevant results. Some of the techniques they used for relevancy could also be gamed (i.e. stuff specific keywords in the page that the search engine will find many matches to but the human doesn't even see it). Google's PageRank was simple enough to understand and harder to game, the tl;dr was that if a lot of sites linked to something, that something is more important. Since humans tended to link to things that they thought where of interest to other humans. And as you mention, Google's desire to combat wrongthink and bring in "authoritive" sources and artificially boost them while censoring others, is why it got shit. It has left a gap in the market. People don't want all this nonsense like "AI in their search. They want it work in a very simple way, using something like PageRank and if they want to ask AI something they can ask it.
>>530342133short term losers
>>530344158With the influx of normies to the internet who had no fucking clue what anything did, those getting around it didn't represent a relevant segment of the userbase anymore, so everyone doubled down on bullshit
the intra net, is some metaphysical thing it confused people but they agree on things sometimes
>>530342133There was a sweetspot at some point with searching. I dont remember when. The time when I started using the internet it was pretty hit or miss and there was a lot of bouncing back and forth between search platforms- netscape, webcrawler, altavista, aol, askjeeves, etc... but youre right that youd find a lot better stuff back then. Youd find some autist's incredible geocities page that had everything you dreamed of instead of nowadays getting mainstream shit thats watered down.
>>530343924>they still exist, we just can't use themthat's really sad. everything is so inefficient and shit now, nothing is made to be good at whatever it actually is supposed to do, because the thing it is supposed to do is make profit, the fact it retains some semblance of usefulness is merely vestigial
>>530344648>Gotta type reddit at the end of every query to get anything somewhat relevant now.reddit routinely bans users and subreddits that are slightly right of Mao though
They had dial up, people made cool Doom levels, phones bigger, they had cords.
>>530342133google bombing ruined the page rank so you can thank all the SEO fags for ruining that. thats why they use a curated approach nowadays

They had some better games back then, they cartridges, I remember the n64.

You used to be able to lazily mistype something obscure and google would find it in a millisecond. It is dogshit now, doesn't even work.
The music was better, but today the music has been in decline.
>>530345177>because the thing it is supposed to do is make profitOne would think there would be paid services that offered functional web searches if profit was the sole motive.I would wager it's more about control and State and Big Tech have merged.On a side note, imagine how much blackmail material a State/Tech entity would have access to via something like the PRISM program. You only need to notice Hillary & Co. and Epstein & Co. are on record using pedo codes and discussing insider information over fucking gmail to see how bad things really are.
>>530342133Ever heard of wayback proxy? Lets you browse old net on an old computer or VM. It's more fun than video games to me these days

Besides, my brain has been successfully neutered with the 10+ years of corposlop search engines so I can hardly even come up with an original thought. What tha fuck.

youtube search used to be much better as well. These days you can type in the actual exact name of a video and it usually won't even show up. There's tons of 9/11 conspiracy type videos that are basically unsearchable now because anything related to these topics is just some promoted documentary from a big youtube channel or similar.

>>530342133I remember yahoo was great, google was absolute crap...And when Gmail came out you needed an invite slash referral...
>>530342133>This apparently happened as a result of search engines prioritizing "high authority" sources and "fighting misinformation"It was never really about that. The destruction of the internet is about destroying every single aspect of it. Not just politics. I can't find anything. No matter how far removed from race or politics my search is about. Jews don't want us having nice things. They are misery merchants.
>>530342133This is why I think OpenAI needs to start their own search indexing engine of the internet so they don’t have to rely on google deprecated and broken search engines like paupers and methed out addicts I genuinely think that Google lost the source code of their search engine prior to 2010 due to some corporate political infighting and just poor git practices. All of that hard work gone done the drain, completely overwritten. We’ve asked them several times to bring back the old Google search capabilities pre 2010 Internet. Nothing despite promises they’ll restore it for special IC MIC purposes.Now the engineers who wrote it all are gone, retired, and plus don’t even remember all the important details He who understands and mapped out the internet controls the AI empire of the future

The 'old' internet had so much character. All gone now.
>>530343417we need to go back >>530354073>Google lost the source codeoh yeah like nasa engineers lost the knowledge to land on the moon? google made the results worse because they made more money that way, they funneled all searches to megacorp media sites and de-ranked (or simply didn't show) smaller sites, the media sites paid for ads so they wanted to be near the top of the search results. no one has a blog or personal website in 2026 because they'll never get organic search traffic.

>>530349657>Anyone remember Elfwood?yea, but I mostly remember it for one artist's gag comic involving a bard sleeping with everything.
True. I used to be able to get obscure but useful results. Now my searches always lead to some kind of normie friendly global answers.
>>530347612it doesn't fully respect it anymore
>>530342637Ive recently joined to the AI wagon after avoiding it like the plague (ai "art" still avoided) and it certainly does offer a better search experience. It wont give you links to disprove the Holocaust but it can do pretty much anything else. It can even help you mod games, this shit is crazy.I think people are just gatekeeping. I wasted so much time trying "to do the heavy lifting".
