    Insane how weighted response filtering and graph search have existed for eons, to say nothing about the fact the search query could be pre-parsed by an LLM/“AI”, and only now do these moronic companies use hard keyword filters.

    Makes you wonder if it’s really “for the children” or just attempts at hard-censoring to train their future AI models.

    Facebook marketplace wouldn’t let me search for an LSD for my car, I had to search for a limited slip differential, which gave me a ton of results for posts that had “LSD” in the listing.

    I really hope those kids they have saved never realize they themselves are naked below their clothing. They’d instantly die fatally of lethal shock.

    When I try and look up the band “Suicidal Tendencies” the only thing I get is a suicide hotline message. It’s so fucking stupid

      I have a similar problem when I try to search for “Codi Vore” on porn sites. I’m often greeted with an error message, " why are you searching for vore, you sick fuck"?

      She doesn’t even do vore, that’s just her porn name.

    Do a video search with “site:youtube.com” on the various Web search engines that have a video search.

    https://duckduckgo.com/?q=site%3Ayoutube.com+bif+naked+let+down&iar=videos

    You don’t need to use YouTube’s search engine to search YouTube.

    EDIT: I mean, many of you, like me, probably long-since tried and then gave up on using Reddit’s (really bad, at least last time I tried it) search engine to search Reddit, but found that doing “site:reddit.com” searches on Web search engines was still useful. The same principle applies elsewhere…

    EDIT2: Plus, you may not even want the site:youtube.com qualifier, if you’re fine with videos from other video-hosting websites.

      YT’s own search is garbage anyway. Whenever I try to use it, it’s completely useless. Language preferences are also non-existent anymore, it seems. Even if I set everything to English and the query is also in English, it still gives me only results in local language.

    I forget exactly what I was searching for, but it had the word young in it. Google told me this is illegal and refused to do it.

    Scared me off the whole Internet for like 2 days.

      That one seemed to be all about offending substrings in words.

      I find this one even dumber because it’s simply dumb to censor the word “naked”, which isn’t even explicit, can be used figuratively, etc.

      I think youtube just wants more people to create accounts.

      A while back I sent my buddy a TikTok with the comment “this fucking killed me” and got an “if you are thinking about hurting yourself, here is the suicide prevention hotline” automated warning in the chat.

    It says “confirm your age.” Are you under 18? Would it give valid search results to someone over 18?

      I don’t have a Google account. I’m avoiding Google in general, but even when I want to make an account for work purposes, it tells me that my phone number has been used too many times for some odd reason.

      Psychedelic porn crumpets

      no results

      Such fun!

      They even renamed their channel to Psychedelic Prn Crumpets

      I think youtube just wants more people to create accounts, to force more and more views to be tied to IDable users.

        If you search “springbok girls”, you get about 50/50 results of them and the South Africa women’s national rugby team 😄
