Has The Atlantic written any articles about how Google's skewed top results also warps reality?

There's been a lot of reporting on Google getting worse, particularly in the Verge.

I've wondered this too. Just typing a single letter or two into Google immediately suggests stuff. I hate it. I don't want these random suggestions entering my brain.

you can turn them off, if you log in.

Back in the day I wrote a Google frontend so that I could get search results on a low-bandwidth connection (basically just a fancy proxy server). I bet you could similarly block out the suggestions.

Actually, you could probably just DNS block those? I'll check later on desktop, but Google has a habit of throwing everything on a new domain.

It's not just suggestions. On mobile front page they are showing suggestions of what people are searching without even typing word
