Is this even an effective approach? The pirates I know don’t use Google to find content anyway.
does google still do that thing with “some links on this result page were excluded based on this request”, followed by a link to full text of the request, said link included? 😆
Truthfully, I do not know. I haven’t been using Google anymore because the result quality is so poor.
Agreed. What’s your engine of choice these days?
The problem I have with that, as a non-gogle search engine user is I just know at some point when everyone has started using it, gogle will just simply delete it off the face of the earth and pretend it never existed in an effort to force their AI. Wouldn’t be the first and certainly nowhere near the last time they killed something to benefit only them.
Yooo that’s really cool! I knew about the web filter thing but this is just nice
what do you use instead?
Whenever I want to pirate something I just go straight to btdig. And if there’s no torrent and I really need to search the web, I’ve had much better luck with Yandex. I figure they’re more resistant to takedowns from western corporations
I mean yeah I know most pirates won’t use Google and will use other search engines but the majority of people using the internet don’t even know that there are other search engines to use. Keeping them off Google is effective at preventing them from reaching other people.
