You tried to google black lives matter and it predicted your search term earlier than everyone else.

Must be the damn liberals!!!

fricking idiot.


Yeah until the user is searching black beery pie recipes, or info about black bears, or black birds, or black cherry soda.

Any search phrase that starts with BL will automatically suggest blm.

That’s what OP is trying to convey.

Idiot.

Yeah.

Probably because right now that is the most searched phrase that starts with "bl" right now on Google.

besides COVID, BLM is the most talked about topic right now, so I'm not sure what the conspiracy is here

No it isn’t.

Maybe don’t call people idiots if you can’t see that he’s saying it’s google being biased, not google having a good predictive algorithm.

Yes, his post is pretty much exactly what I was trying to convey. Do you think that’s it’s possible, and I realize that I’m talking up to an intellectual giant right now, that google could have a good predictive algorithm AND be politically biased?

If you want to be guided to leftist results, yes.


Now I'm wondering how people out there actually go to Google with nothing specific in mind and just type a few letters and follow wherever they are lead.

Guess you could always develop your own search engine?



What a fricking stupid comment


Don't like Ford? Guess you could develop your own car company




or you could buy one of a multiple of like options


which is the fricking point when people complain about Google



Is there a way to outlaw stupid? or tax it?

That’s a stretch. Google pimps whatever gets them the most money. Their biggest bias is their wallet. Sounds pretty capitalistic to me.
