Search Risk – How Google Almost Killed Proton Mail | Proton
proton.me
For nearly a year, Google was suppressing Proton Mail from search results for our primary keywords. This episode illustrates that Search Risk is serious and potentially fatal for small businesses.

Google is excelling again - as the whole “uncensored” Big-Tech IT now.

The short summary is that for nearly a year, Google was hiding Proton Mail from search results for queries such as ‘secure email’ and ‘encrypted email’. This was highly suspicious because Proton Mail has long been the world’s largest encrypted email provider.

    I don’t see YT being replaced in that sense any time soon. Federated text and image content is really still in infancy, and video hosting at the size of YT is a tremendously more complex feat, requiring, at the absolute minimum: a metric crapton of bandwidth and storage.

    For me, I just use invidious and similar for the foreseeable future, or peertube when there are things on it.

    At the very least, not being signed in to YT and having only a local watch history and subscriptions (=not on a YT or Google account) does starve the algorithm a bit.

      It might starve the algorithm, but I still get good recommendations on Tubular for the most part, and I haven’t used a YT account ever since the first NewPipe alpha released.

      I’m hoping storage will become cheap enough that something like PeerTube will be able to grow as much as Lemmy and Mastodon have over the past few years.
