Why does searching for '4chan' on Google return the /pol/ board and not the homepage in its first result?
>>62001809
probably got dmca'ed
4chan is next on the chopping block of 'free speech' websites.
>>62001809
/pol/ is one of the more popular boards. Also, the boards are hosted on a separate subdomain than the main page.
>>62001831
How does that work?
i guess it's because you visit it the most
The botnet knows what you like bro
>>62001809
everyone likes to DDOS 4chan by attacking the homepage, not realizing the boards are hosted on separate servers.
>>62001857
I only frequent /g/ and /his/. Even then, why not show the homepage on the first result?
>>62001843
is /x/ really the third most popular board? that just cant be
>>62001809
when you search specifically for "4chan b" that same shit comes up
try searching "site:4chan.org"
no results
>>62001956
lmao what happened to google search?
Ever since Drumpf happened, /pol/ has become bigger than /b/.
>>62001993
no this was going on for years
>>62001989
you haven't been paying attention?
literally every silicon valley company is trying to virtue signal up the ass by "silencing all forms of hate" thanks to the charlottesville car attack.
They're trying to kick nazis off the internet now.
>>62001956
for how long have you been retarded?
>>62002015
>>62002033
show me your results then
>>62002052
I know it must be difficult for someone as, well, "special" as you, but please, try to keep up with the conversation, okay?
I have asked you for how long you have been retarded, normal people don't just start talking about things that aren't related to the conversation!
Startpage doesn't have this problem
>>62002067
show me your google results
>>62002034
i know that 8 chan was quickly banned from results too
so that's probably around that time
>lmao at 8 chan without a space still triggering the spam filter
>>62002084
I sincerely hope that soon you will get some professional help for your mental state so that you could start being a productive member of society. This will be my last reply because I do not wish to encourage your autistic behaviour
>>62002101
???
>>62001839
shit moves too fast here. once it catches on with the normies a thread has already 404ed.
>>62002142
only on /b/
>>62001956
I've noticed them doing to this porn blog that i used. It's like completely gone from Google search.
Guess it's time to start using Bing.
>>62001809
Well think of it like this, when you visit a certain site often google will start recommending it to you as a top hit, and global web results act as an extended aggregate of that, often focusing on the part of a site that the majority of visitors see when they go there. People who go to 4chan are usually regulars, so they never actually just go to 4chan.org, when they can just type ~/g to get to where they need to immediately. I haven't seen the front page in months and when I do it's usually by accident.
>>62001809
Yoy're wrong /pol/ack
>>62002149
but even then what is the longest you have seen a non /vg/ thread last for really?
>"hate speech" gets posted
>"hate speech" gets taken down 48 days later
might as well take down facebook if you can penalize a site for what its users say.
>>62001809
Because that's the one you frequent the most.
>>62002364
>but even then what is the longest you have seen a non /vg/ thread last for really?
Threads on /d/ sometimes lasts months as far as I know.
>>62002034
I like how people constantly post this image on a technology board, showing they have no fucking clue about technology at all.
>>62001809
/pol/ is the most popular board on the site and thus the most searched for
>>62001809
Nope.
>>62002401
then i have no clue how this place has lasted so long while daily stormer posts something and all of a sudden gets the boot.
>>62002388
>>62002459
But why isn't the homepage the first result? It's pretty much the standard.
Because Google search results are tailored to your preferences. In other words:
>>>/pol/
>>62002480
wtf it's showing that for me too now
>>62002493
Well /d/ is only porn though, so politics would probably be offtopic and banned.
>>62002149
pol and v are both faster than b now
>>62001809
>>62001989
what the fuck lmao
For the record the only boards I visit are /mu/ and /g/.
>>62002024
Well they're doing a pretty shit fucking job, redirecting people to the objectively worst board on the site
I only browse /g/ in my computer
>>62001809
Results according to shit you've visited b4
>>62001809
Google search adapts its search results based on your tracking information (including IP stuff), geolocation, and other shit in order to give you personalized results. In this case Google is sending you to a containment board.
When I search I get the home page, wiki page, and a bunch of other 4chan related results including some news articles.
Explain to me what this has to do with technology.
>>62001809
So we can scare Reddit cuckholds out
>>62001839
And what would make you think that? Nishimura doesn't seem to give a shit about what goes on here, illegal content gets removed whenever it's posted, and no one has seemed to have made the claim that Cloudflare endorses everything we say on the site. The only way the site would die is if Nishimura decided to say fuck it and quit because we're bleeding money, but there are potential wealthy buyers like Notch and Martin Shkreli who would rather see the site stay up and have expressed an interest in purchasing the site.
Only browse /g/, /v/, /out/, /e/, and /d/
>>62006517
I browse /g/ and /v/ exclusively. Maybe they have /a/ and /x/ because they are the first and last respectively?
>>62001809
Because a lot of 4chan's attention on other sites recently has been from the /pol/ board which is pushing it up in the results.
>>62002101
Can you imagine being so sad that you spend all of your free time being condescending on 4chan?
>the city of duckduckgo
>>62006752
>>62006702
i like how fuckfuckno used to advertise on 4chan and now removed 4chan from search results after people started posting about the name database and how it was sold by the ddg admin, including all userdata.
>>62006702
>>62006752
(((Google)))
>>62006790
we all got cucked
/pol/ is 4chan now
>>62001857
This
Although it's weird, i browse pol, a, x for spoopy stories, gif, this one but I get pol, v (???), and gif
Google algorithm works in mysterious ways
>>62006844
This. 4chan is rightful /pol/ clay. Other boards are either puppets or in the sphere of influence at this point
you are all retarded.
Just search for '4chan' on startpage and it will give you unbiased results.
See pic related.
>>62006702
You just need to use !safeoff for it to appear, same applies to other sites that could be seen as 'obscene' but are not obviously so e.g. gelbooru. You can toggle that filter off, but it's the default.
>>62006905
forgot pic
>>62006905
>oy vey 4chan is unsafe goy, they have harmful ideas
>>62002149
>/b/
Man, nobody goes to that shithole anymore.
/pol/ is the hottest part of 4chan.
>>62006702
turn safe search off you fucking mongoloid
>>62006790
it's because they have safe search turned on you braindead motherfucker, why are you even on this board without the most basic knowledge
>>62006953
>>62006969
r. duckfuckgo shill
>>62006844
>>62006887
Wrong
>>62007022
I'm sorry I'm not part of the botnet you autistic nigger
lel
>>62007053
>/pol/ and /r9k/ will defend those reddit results
>>62002459
>/pol/ more popular than /b/
Fuck me. No wonder it's so shit here.
>>62007053
>Frankie, The Cuck
>>62002034
Gamergate was objectively the worst thing to happen to the internet.
Today I was looking for a site centered around free speech that came before 4chan existed and I got a bunch of links about white supremacy and protests
>>62007053
>Frankie, The Cuck
>>62001809
Probably personalized results, you go to /pol/ all the time so it likely assumes you only care about /pol/
>>62007053
>frankie the cuck
what the fuck is wrong with people
/pol reporting in
Niggers
>>62002168
>>>62001956
>Guess it's time to start using Bing.
Do it. It's great for porn.
>>62006414
Notch would completely cuck us
shkreli on the other hand
