So now, back to my point:

Even something as neutral and non-controversial as CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES, if Aunt Jane or Grandma had a blog sharing her recipes with the world, NO ONE WOULD FIND THEM using Google, even if they were looking!

The old days of the Internet are effectively OVER. 

It's all curated content now. Hard to get noticed, etc. If you don't have money for advertising, you can't rise above the noise. It used to be that "organic (free) search" would send in people: if you build it, they will come. But now? How do you get an audience in the first place, if search engines won't send in people looking for what you have?

But claiming 1.2 billion searches and then the MOST you can explore is 422? That's a Potempkin village! A complete illusion, totally fake -- don't look too hard, or you'll see there's nothing behind it.

You join one of the many heads of the "Beast" and submit to their terms and conditions for use. Most blogs are stuck within the approved selection of blog sites (like Blogspot, etc.) and subject to whatever rule and stipulations the owners of that site subject you to in order to use it. It's a very "corpocratic" means of regulating content.

What has happened to the internet over the past decade (since the popularization of smartphones, unsurprisingly) is exactly what they are trying to implement in the real world with the Reset agenda: solve et coagula, dissolve the uncontrolled variety of independent businesses/cities/nations and coagulate them into one controlled mass.

Back to word-of-mouth advertising. The more things change...

I would love to try Yandex, but that's been blacklisted because "Russia!!"

So, if someone else has a VPN and would like to try the same test on Yandex; I'm very interested to see if there's any varying results.

I can access Yandex just fine without a VPN.  I've gotten much better results when searching "conspiracy theory" topics.
