The Internet is genuinely unusable

Social networks have gotten pretty good at keeping people in their respective hugbox and then disappearing users who escape into other hugboxes and kick shit up.
Remember- you are cattle to them. Your eyes are there to see ads. The only semblance of user experience they care about is finding a novel way to give you an ad that doesn't look like an ad so you click it. Like you said, they have spent your entire life learning how to do this effectively.
If you shit up someone else's hugbox, you are disturbing their precious cattle while they feed.

Don't use social networks. They're gay until they prove otherwise.

this. the reason "the internet" is so obsessively censored is because "the internet", at least where user population is concerned, consists mainly of these terrible advertising and analytics farming platforms. sites like kiwifarms, where the owner operates and maintains it out of ideological principle and/or the interest of providing a high quality service to its users, are so uncommon as to be fringe weirdo shit. that basically means that only about 1% of the internet is interested in allowing you to truly express yourself, while the remaining 99% views you only as a vector for profit.

Yeah, I recently posted a comment on YouTube where I simply suggested a streamer to play a game, and the comment got hidden/shadowbanned.

On YT, comments can get that treatment for no reason, they're still technically viewable if you sort by newest (no one does because it's extra clicks), or through the API.
 
Being an autistic NEET is no longer a unique pastime. Now we have normies who romanticize being an incel and worshipping anime. We are seeing a flipping of tables where normies are terminally online now and the sperg incels are the ones being outside and having actual hobbies. Glorious to see really

Nothing special tbh, sometimes it's even stuff like mainstream news or some historical facts or trivia. These days chat GPT is much better at searching as long as the prompt isn't """controversial""".

Still no concrete examples. I find that to be a bit exaggerated. It only seems to happen if you Google obviously "controversial" shit like kiwifarms, 8chan, gore, deep fakes, piracy sites. And you get a gay little Some results may have been removed under data protection law in Europe  message

I can't fucking find anything on Google. It's like some kinda meta Mandela effect. I be typing something that I would bet my nuts on that it exists, and it "turns out" to be a product of my imagination because Google claims to have heard nothing about it.

Google is ads first and whatever the fuck you are searching for second. I also hate when you are searching for something with an odd spelling or something you know is intentionally misspelled and you don't get the search you intended.

An example because Little Red Corvette was playing on the radio. Let's say I need to search "corvet" with that spelling for some reason. Does Google let me? Fuck no. I get:
These are results for corvette
Search instead for corvet

Fuck you. That's not what I wanted. :mad:

Now sometimes I use google to quickly spellcheck something that the browser doesn't do automatically with the red underline. But it's irritating that I cannot search for the spelling I intended first and foremost if that's what I needed.

Yep. Sometimes I feel like poking the beehive and replying to the endless passive aggressive libshits in YouTube comments, and my comment gets shadowbanned. You cannot look at any comment section if you want to be happy. The other day, for the first time in months, I went on reddit to mock the canadians having meltdowns in the askCanada subreddit. All my posts were deleted and I was banned from the sub. Keep in mind I was using friendly language and not being malicious, just asking them to state the obvious.

I get a gag order wherever I post, its fucking ridiculous and why I only talk here. When are we breaking the walls down? These retard tech companies are starting to see the average Joe is conservative or centrist, so let them speak their fucking mind. I thought Google was having their monopoly broken, when is that happening? Bash them to bits and let other search engines exist.
