They’re on to me! A post on the Men’s Rights subreddit asks the question: “Is Google Manipulating Search Output Again? I can’t believe that certain people are that prominent.”
The “certain people” in question? Me. I’m the certain people!
Apparently convinced that I am way too insignificant to show up in Google search results, Redditor Imnotmrabut naturally concludes that SUPER SEEKRIT SJW SKULLDUGGERY is afoot. I mean, it’s not like my blog is, you know, fairly widely read, or that the particular post in the screenshot got more attention than most. IT MUST BE A PLOT. There are probably Jews involved.
To their credit, several of the commenters in the Men’s Rights subreddit thread do in fact raise the possibility that maybe, just maybe, my post was high up in the search results because, you know, people were reading and linking to it. But others aren’t convinced:
It’s all a plot I tells ya!
Imnotmrabut isn’t the only MRA I’ve seen who thinks that some EVIL SJW CONSPIRACY is trying to keep people from learning about The Red Pill.
In a discussion about the film on IMDb earlier this month, one commenter wondered why they had had some trouble finding the film’s official page on IMDb. Another commenter suggested that IMDb had been SEEKRETLY WARNED not to publicize the film.
“It’s part of a systemic suppression by the mass media to silence dissent against the politically correct regime,” a budding conspiracy theorist called mystikan charged.
What we are seeing across the board these days is an exact reprise of the Bolshevik revolution that gave rise to the Soviet Union. So it wouldn’t surprise me if IMDb had been “quietly spoken to” as regards publicising this movie.
If you Google the name, you’ll find quite a few mainstream media reports on it – every single one poisonously dismissive of it. There are no positive reviews anywhere except in the usual MRA/MGTOW-friendly publications.
The sad thing is, these Stalinist scum will probably destroy Cassie Jaye’s career over this.
LITERALLY STALIN.
In another comment about the film on IMDb, mystikan warned evil feminist Bolsheviks that they can’t suppress the TRUTH forever:
You feminist suckups can scream and cry all you like, your time is up. The truth is out and it’s only going to get louder and harder to bury from here. You wanted a gender war, you’ve bloody well got one.
Needless to say, mystikan also has many opinions about the recent lady-filled Ghostbusters reboot, and the ladies who try to convince their boyfriends to see it.
“If you are hooked up with a chick who wants to drag you along to see this,” he wrote,
that’s your cue to ditch that bitch and run for the hills, before she slaps a false rape/DV accusation on you or turns you into a pussywhipped little cuck.Â
You’ve been warned!
tl:dr: I run Google, something something Trump Stalin Ghostbusters cuck
Gosh. I wish I could secretly run Google!
It is amazing that their inferiors are so good at keeping the world from recognizing their greatness.
*eyeroll*
I thought you were secretly two cats which were trying to get better sardine opportunities?
If I could Run Google I’d unfuck YouTube and run a bonbon mining ring. That and possibly make other sites comply with my totalitarian rule of not tolerating sites that drag their heels when their users report threats to their safety.
That must take up a lot of time. How do you manage to produce this blog as well?
*Applauds*
So, what if my wife didn’t have to convince me to see the new Ghostbusters because I was down for it from the beginning?
So Bing and Yahoo are more better?
I punched “Cassie Jaye” into Bing and WHTM came up #2.
On Yahoo I got: “Also try: cassie jaye from the red pill, david futrelle cassie jaye”
Did the guy even check?
“If you Google the name, you’ll find quite a few mainstream media reports on it – every single one poisonously dismissive of it. ”
Well…yeah. Its an obscure film about a relatively niche topic of there wouldn’t be mainstream reports. And people are dismissive because from the looks of things its not a very well resaerched documentary.
“There are no positive reviews anywhere except in the usual MRA/MGTOW-friendly publications.”
That should tell you something about the films overall quality.
@ sillybill
Hahahahahahaha…of course not. Why risk un-confirming your titanic bias with icebergs like ‘observable evidence’ or ‘easily verifiable facts’?
@sillybill
It’s worse than we thought! They’re all in on it. There’s only one reason people don’t like us: CONSPIRACY!
/s
So who is the Ludendorff in this scenario?
If you run Google, they should be paying you more.
Er, David? If you run Google, could you, umm, disregard those searches I did? It wasn’t me, it was a visitor using my laptop. I had malware. I was… researching… for a report. Yeah. A really filthy report.
International banks are part of it too, I’m sure. Google is rigged, believe me, folks. Gotta monitor the search results. It’s the only way to stop Crooked David from controlling the outcome…
Moggie, can’t do. Google Phase Two involves blackmailing everyone on earth.
Also if we’re apparently in the beginning of a reprise of the Bolshevik revolution we wouldn’t be Stalinist scum yet. Get your facts straight conspiracy theroists
I’ll be OK with the blackmail if you can stop Google Maps from trying to send me home via Chew Magna, Compton Martin and over Gibbets Brow when the route through Clutton and Farrington Gurney is clearly quicker ( although I’ll admit the junction near Chewton Mendip can be a bottleneck )
I figure at this point these guys are literal cartoon characters. The logic is so divorced from anything reality based that they must be fabrications of ink and pen made by a mediocre cartoonist.
Like Scot Adams.
(insert drum noise here)
Google is rigged
Reviewers are rigged
‘cos the media is rigged
Elections rigged too
You want proof, just dig
All these clues, all those reviews
That have no opinions to give
That aren’t negative
That’s not because it’s bad
You believe that? You’ve been had
No, it clearly must be
A massive conspiracy
That only we
The enlightened ones, can see
sometimes when i’m alone i use comic sans
Edit: Oh crap, this isn’t Google???
A conspiracy? Looks like David is finally one of the cool bloggers đŸ˜‰
Insert X-Files theme, Eye of Providence, red string, etc. here.
So, all search engines, including the Googles, track your searches so that they can give you results weighted on your past searches. It’s a problem if you’re looking for a variety of points of view, and it can be a problem if you’re paranoid and obsessive about certain cat-loving feminist bloggers who seem to show up ALL THE TIME because you’ve searched on them before, or clicked on links from them before.
It’s kinda fun, if you want to bother: create a new user account on your computer and run a search on something you’d be inclined to search ordinarily. Screen cap the results and keep the screen cap in a Public folder. Log back in as yourself, run the same search and compare the results.
Now, we can talk about whether it’s creepy and invasive to feed you search results this way. I get why they do it, but I would really appreciate the option to get unweighted results.
David, can you arrange that? Thx!
Wait, is being a Bolshevik meant to be a bad thing?
