This is normal. Coronaviruses cause disease, including COVID-19 which is currently a global pandemic. Disease and public health are the responsibility of physicians and epidemiologists, it is dangerous for people to think for themselves about a disease that has cost over 1.5 million deaths and free access to information encourages independent thought.

Its fine to think for yourself about what music to like, when it comes to disease you should think how the experts and official authorities tell you to think.

This is so well-written that I cannot tell if it is irony or not.

Thank you. I was doing my best to articulate the mindset faithfully. Thats the only way to actually evaluate these ideas on their merits, imo.

I rarely use Google nowadays, but I was a bit surprised that I could hardly find search results anymore. 90% of the page does not contain actual results, and I have to scroll down for a long time to actually see it.

Has it become common for Google? Do you know any other search that looks like this?

Yes.

Well, since there are only two web crawlers left, and the other one doesn't look like Google.... no.

Sorry, I was not meaning "search engine" but "search term" / "search results" on google :)

Narrative Control at its finest.
