Time to break them up.
Maybe we should not let companies have so much power.
I have noticed google doing a bunch more monopoly stuff since they weren’t willing to pay the government not to be called a monopoly, I guess they aren’t afraid of being a
monopoly anymore since they have been declared a monopoly hay did you know google was legally ruled a monopoly?
Seriously, they are shamelessly holding the internet hostage. This is the kind of thing we would send James Bond in to deal with.
Nobody needs to die just because Google let out an inappropriate fart.
I guess people would create pages full of links to their real pages.
You die if your website is not indexed by the largest search engine.

They never fully left. I see the all the time on neocities. (although it would be nice to have them become mainstream again)
What are those? Never heard of 'em.
Basically websites would link to each other in the old internet, to create a “ring” of sorts. It mostly functioned as an algorithm of sorts, without actually being an algorithm.
I yearn to find the lost knowledge of how to do those thingies!
Despite what Google wants you to think, organic search is not the only way to get traffic. Fuck em. Time to disallow Googlebot in robots.txt and noindex your content.
And also to explicitly feed garbage when the useragent is that of the googlebot. And while we are at it, do the same with a few other UAs too. You know which I mean.
Of course, that may not be feasible for everyone, but I do know that my visitors are not coming from google.
I hope someone comes up with a different search engine without all of the bullshit.
Whats a good federated search engine?
I know peertube has: https://sepiasearch.org/
