Imagine that one morning Google decides to destroy 99,9% of your trust—not in YouTube videos, but in content about holistic health. This is exactly what happened to Dr. Joseph Mercola: Articles about alternative healing methods that had been valued for years—*poof!*—were virtually invisible due to Google updates. The technical term for this: "nonaginate"—derived from the Latin "nonaginta" (ninety), because "decimate" was far too few. Suddenly, not a tenth, but 90% of the visibility disappeared overnight.
Under the guise of "safety" and terms like "EEAT" (Expertise, Authority, Trustworthiness) or "YMYL" (Your Money or Your Life), Google removes websites from its search results that oppose pro-pharma mainstream narratives – even if they are run by established doctors and scientists. It can't be that medicinal herbs are more trustworthy than pills.
Quality inspectors play judges
To ensure that the digital destruction campaign appears "objective," Google, according to official information, employs "around 16 quality reviewers" who make their judgments based on Wikipedia's facts. Wikipedia, whose anonymous editors—surprise, surprise—are notoriously unenthusiastic about naturopathy. The result: dissenting opinions are effectively rendered invisible.
PCOS and naturopathy: From page 1 to page 28
A prime example: Websites about "polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)" that offer natural treatment approaches regularly appeared in top positions before the 2018 "Medic Update." Today? Hidden posts in the lower search results. An accomplice in the algorithm war.
Mercola, once well-visited, is now struggling with a "99,9% drop in traffic" – gone are the days when alternative medicine was easy to find. Instead, pharmaceutical-friendly platforms now shine.
Bill Dembski sounds the alarm – Google dominates the interpretation
Philosopher Bill Dembski shows in his article «The Evilization of Google" reveals how the company uses its monopolistic power to control opinions. With approximately "90% of the global search market share" and 136 billion hits per month, Google can define what is "healthy" – or what counts as relevant. Web structure is a thing of the past; today, paid manipulation reigns supreme.
Overall balance – served ironically and bitingly
- Google is not playing well, but powerful: Alternative health-promoting products are being eliminated algorithmically
- “Nonaginate” is not a legal term, but the measure of digital censorship
- "Quality evaluator"? Wikipedia fanatic – objectivity? None.
- "Visibility" of genuine natural medicine? A guaranteed slippery slope: From top rankings to "he who seeks will find—someday, maybe."
Conclusion: If you care about real healing, Google will ignore you – Presearch or DuckDuckGo combined with herbal teas sounds like a good start to search for information uninhibitedly while maintaining one's privacy.
"Dravens Tales from the Crypt" has been enchanting for over 15 years with a tasteless mixture of humor, serious journalism - for current events and unbalanced reporting in the press politics - and zombies, garnished with lots of art, entertainment and punk rock. Draven has turned his hobby into a popular brand that cannot be classified.
My blog was never designed to spread news, let alone get political, but with current affairs I just can't help but capture information here that is otherwise censored on all other channels. I am aware that the design page may not seem "serious" to many in this regard, but I will not change this to please the "mainstream". Anyone who is open to non-state-compliant information sees the content and not the packaging. I've tried enough to provide people with information over the last 2 years, but quickly noticed that it never matters how it's "packaged", but what the other person's attitude towards it is. I don't want to put honey on anyone's mouth to meet expectations in any way, so I'll keep this design because hopefully at some point I'll be able to stop making these political statements, because it's not my goal to go on like this forever 
I leave it up to everyone how they deal with it. However, you are welcome to simply copy and distribute the content, my blog has always been under the WTFPL license.
It's hard for me to describe what I'm actually doing here, DravensTales has become a culture blog, music blog, shock blog, tech blog, horror blog, fun blog, a blog about found items on the internet, internet bizarre, trash blog, art blog, water heater, zeitgeist blog over the years , Scrap blog and grab bag blog called. Everything that is right ... - and yet not. The main focus of the blog is contemporary art, in the broadest sense of the word.
