Putting quotes around every single word in a google search so that google doesn't randomly ignore most of them (hexbear.net)

This is getting ridiculous.

Also anyone else notice that google now censors most search results about drugs? They give you their fucking suicide hotline as the top result if you mention anything harder than weed. After that, it's all DEA and DOJ webpages, literal DARE shit, actual rehab advertisements, and massively SEO'd rehab related grifts. Good luck getting any Bluelight or Erowid pages to come up without actively searching for them nowadays.

And adding reddit to the end so I get real people’s answers

The one and only reason that reddit shouldn't yet be scourged from the internet

What, are the top results all being barely readable, AI generated spam articles and ad-sponsored or hidden marketing masquerading as reviews and blog posts not good enough for you?

Because if so, ya, that's all we got unless you tailor your search a bunch with stuff like that...
