Search engines have gotten really shitty lately.

@Ace66062 @lanodan @Moon @noyoushutthefuckupdad I'm just sick of people defending Brave (both their browser and search engine). They are no better than those who defend Mozilla.
@noyoushutthefuckupdad @lanodan @Moon The moon landing was fake. Do you really think they went there when the US was so behind in the space race at the time? There was even a photo that was taken off of NASA's site when the "sun" was proven to be just a light bulb.
@noyoushutthefuckupdad @lanodan @Moon This is what it gives me. I also did one on 9/11 being an inside job and I got Reddit threads, an article about a former conspiracy theorist's regrets, and the "psychology" of conspiracy theorists.
That doesn't necessarily imply Brave is downranking conspiracy theories. It could easily be that the internet is more interested in the mainstream narrative rather than fringe conspiracism. Which is possibly due to the downranking done on other, less scrupulous engines.

@Hyolobrika @lanodan @Moon @noyoushutthefuckupdad Brave uses it's own index and people who use Brave Search are less likely to get into mainstream articles.
I meant that possibly Google/etc's practises gave mainstream articles more crosslinks, which gave them a better ranking in Brave.
