    This article is easily falsifiable bullshit. Just ask google a question and you’ll get the same kind of search results as you always have.

      same kind of search results as you always have.

      Funny, I don’t remember getting top news stories, preview links for videos, or images when I did a Google search in the early 2000s…

        No, but i do remember one of the options on the front page always being porn no matter what you searched. My middle school wanted us to use Yahoo search instead of google for pictures because it wouldn’t show Rule 34 content.

          I think you mean SafeSearch > off.

          Yes, you would pretty much be guaranteed to get a helping of porn no matter what.

      I’ve been running a kind of long experiment over the years. I search the same word every now and then. Watching the top results change has been fascinating. It’s gone from definitions to ads, and now it automatically tries to link into Google maps too. The original top results aren’t even visible without scrolling anymore.
