I have a theory that the whole mainstream internet is entirely fake. If you use any search engine, any request shows only useless mainstream sites owned by the elite. There are many genuine sites owned by normal people that never get shown. I have spent many hours before finding a site that is not owned by the elite. Unaware people don't know that normal sites exist. If all search engines are owned by the elite, average people will never find anything genuine but bullshit sites.

I find the same thing. Also alarming is that if the search isn't about news item terms, all you get is ten or twenty pages of "buy this" retailers.

Ever since placement in a search engine became valuable, people have been trying to game their way up the rankings. This makes search engines less useful and more just keyword-based ad providers.

Looking for book pdf is the worst I've found. There will be scam sites with this insane optimization that pop up.
