Its just sad that people who know how internet search works for the sake of comfort let someone else decide what they see when searching for stuff.

Stupid people and internet illiterate people exist since the dawn of the internet. Thats not news.

Whats scary is how a new generation of people will lose or not develop basic critical thinking and research skills, and let an algorithm serve up content to them when looking for information.
