A while ago, I published a blog post here on Google's blogger relating to the demographic consequences of Covid19. A Google search for Canspeccy +demographic yielded this result (well it did. Which is to say it yielded a bunch of useless and irrelevant rubbish). However, during the 24 hours after I created the present post, Google's response changed to a link to Canspeccy but nothing about demographics. However, checking some weeks later (December 31, 2020), I see that Google provides a Page 1 link to the post that you are reading now, but not to the one I was looking for which was entitled: COVID-19, an Agent of Demographic Change: How the New Corona Virus Will Change the World. This further change might suggest that Google doesn't like the suggestion that it is running an information racket, although it still won't point to what someone searching Canspeccy blogposts might actually want.
Is that useless, or what?
Meantime, a DuckDuckGo search for Canspeccy +demographic yields this result, which includes a link to this blog post, plus the blogpost, noted above, that I was looking for. Originally the link to the post I wanted appeared on the second page of a long list of Canspeccy blogposts concerned with demographics.
So is Google search total crap, or are we censored?
Presumably the latter, well both actually, which would explain why our daily hit rate has fallen from peak numbers of over ten thousand to not much more than 100 a day now.
Do we care?
No we don't care that almost no one reads our stuff, inasmuch as even if ten thousand a day read it, it would not change the world in any noticeable way.
Yes, we do care that we are ruled by arrogant, corrupt, billionaire techie sons-of-bitches intent on imposing a techie-ruled tyranny upon the world.
As for why we write despite being firmly muzzled? We do it to know our own mind.
