    Yes but they’re also politically biased. Not to mention, the enormous amount of web content that is effectively banned from seArch engine results due to low prestige

    The copyrights by gosh 18k per month. Either fiat has continued its crash or their overcharging for copyrights. It’s a disaster that these things exist quite as long as they do
