    In the late 90s and very early 00’s you could google yahoo song names and get a downloadable mp3 link as one of the first results.
    Cause search engines simply showed websites that contained your search terms, without filtering and AI algorithms.

      Yep, too much of search engines today is people pushing SEO crap to rise in rankings and the businesses “protecting” users by delisting tons of sites that Google/Yahoo or who-the-fuck-ever has decided are “bad.” The number of times legitimate sites get swept up in that bullshit is too damn high.

      Having no filtering certainly had its pros and cons, considering how much traumatizing shit google would throw at me as a child lol
