I just tried to look up a specific video of a Nick Swardson stand up bit. All I searched was “Nick Swardson loitering”. There were 5 fucking ads before an actual user posted video, then one real human posted video that barely had anything to do with Nick, then 5 more fucking ads.
I knew they were forcing ads into videos but clogging the entire search feed with ads is unfuckingbelievable.
Is this really what it’s come to? Ads are more important than what I’m actually looking for? Are people really okay with this?
Same as Google results, they’ve decided we can’t choose for ourselves and are now going to curated results.
Rumble and Yahoo are far better.
LibreY, search and get the results you asked for. You’re welcome.
Looks nice! A little too bare-bones and missing some features but thanks for putting it on my radar. I’m currently bouncing between duckduckgo and SearXNG.
Isn’t Rumble alt-right?
Honest question…I’ve given Rumble a couple of tries. Every visit it seems super right-wing. And I don’t mean conservative viewpoints with which I disagree, but full-blown conspiracy lunacy, hard-right fearmongering titles designed to enrage the conservative mind. That’s all that shows up in recommended/trending when I visit. I don’t have an account and pretty sure it’s not tracking my preferences. Is that just what it is, or have I fallen into someone else’s echo chamber somehow?
For reference, title at the top of the feed right now:
Yup. Tried Rumble once. It was all right wing or pro-Russia or other extremist trash.
That’s “monetizing the user base” in corpo speak
