Search engines have gotten really shitty lately.

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.
