Another Missive on Dead Internet Theory

The only part of the dead internet theory I beleive does not belong in the dead internet theorym is link rot, and people disapearing that has always been a thing, and we can file those two things Under life happens. Seems everyone noticed around 2014.
Part of the problem is the search engine only goes through SEO, Plus Google after getting sued by other companies, addmited that the serarch engine is edited so it basicly is a google favorites links page. And since most other search engine companies cater to Googles search engine tactics and SEO, means that the only effective search engine would be one that ignores SEOS, and go back to a ranking system, keyword, and boolean searches. I have a theory and I am not sure of this but it seems plausible, that since the search engines are relying on the AI and autofill searches, and the problem with a lot of search engines remove things like stop words, which a lot of the words that fall under what boolean searches need to work, you dont even have an option on most search engines for an advanced search,keyword or boolean search. Though we used to use more then more then one search engine. It doesn;t matter now. Now we just have circular results, and basicly a loop of the same sites over and over again, then block results after on average 22 pages.Seems almost like one of those fake internets inside a game where there are 20 random pages  in the fake search engine inside the game. With shadow banning, blacklisting, or removing a site that is not kosher with Google. And most attempts at creating an alternative to google are still using google. I used Gibiru.com to figure out what kinds of sites they ban, It really doesnt matter, they even remove mainstream sites or articles that are approved or promoted by google, they will even banned articles from sites they approve. None of the results would seem to cause Google any legal or criminal problems. It also seems google has legal protections above what courts say they have. They can do and have done what other companies that have got broken up for sued or shut down for.
I have had to learn several tricks to get around these roadblocks,It just creates extra work for me. And now the new algorithim BERT looking for intent words, and then now they ignore keywords and boolean searches for
Myrissa Myer former Executive at Google, Doesnt care about search results. Tim Berners Lee thinks the internet has been killed as the wat it was envisioned it. Then there was MUM, which looks for questions, and people using chatgpt for searching, but chatgpt is also edited or I should say handcuffed. though there are paid an free alternatives.
Just accidently the other day as i was goiing through internet archive, i found out a lot of sites all disapeared around the sametime between 2013 and 2015 with most of the sites shutting down or going defunct in the same year, 2014. it could be a coincidence, but my research shows that most of seemed to noticed an accelerated change in 2014, I think even most of us on here beleive that may not be when it started or when it happened but they all seem to noticed it within that time period.

That does explain the surge in popularity, of retro sites, bbs, irc, and all these projects to bring things like aol, computer serve and prodigy back, as well as people like me who want to return to internet 1.0 with better security
