Maybe because Google wants her to be #1.
They can manipulate the data/algorithms to sell to you anything they want to tell you.
Jesus ... now I know why this is a conspiracy theorist forum, but.
Is it that hard to believe? Google, YouTube, Twitter, Reddit, etc have been silencing conservative voices for years. They have been on multiple videos admitting it. I remember when Hillary had a 99-100% chance of winning the presidency. How'd that turn out?

They are just getting rid of platforms that don't make money, it's your delusional paranoia that leads you to think it's censorship of conservative platforms, this is a capitalist system where profit motivates action.

So your argument is these companies no longer care about profit and will shortchange their stockholders just so they can silence conservatives.
Now go and think about that.
they are raking in the cash. They will rake in more if they can get a dem candidate in. Google has already proven that they are willing to silence conservatives and manipulate searches in favor of dems. They give millions to dem candidates. None of their stock holders have complained about that yet. They know the returns on the investment will pay off in the long run, so that is not a very good point about shareholders.

There certainly political wars going on out there but that isn't what I'm getting at, the shareholders wouldn't put up with financial losses, their investment is purely for profit. If you were a shareholder at Google and we're taking losses because of the direction the company takes you would pull your money and invest elsewhere right, its ridiculous to think otherwise.
Don't get me wrong there is all sorts of manipulation going on out there, I just think its a stretch of the imagination that we live in a world where profit isn't the prime motivator.

Hell, go to Google and search "ATS". Tell me what page you find this site on. Then go to duckduckgo and make the same search. Then tell me there's no manipulation.

Ats is simply no longer all that popular, I remember when it was the number 1 in the results page, I also remember a much more diverse membership and input from owners, this site is a shambles and it shows in the search results.

And you think political influence doesn't eventually lead to profit? These are investors, not gamblers. They know the game. You need to open your eyes, my friend.

Maybe eventually, but that's a gamble not an investment.

You're delusional, friend. Take off the blinders. I'm sorry, but there's so much out there saying the contrary, including the companies execs themselves. Try my experiment. It's that simple to test the theory. You can do it with a lot of topics. Seriously. Do it.
