    You're absolutely right. Google censor anything that could be considered a free speech platform that competes with the tech monopolies (let alone an actual right-biased site). Reddit blocks any links to thedonald.win or voat.co - and shadowbans you if you mention saidit.net. They intentionally fracture competitors as well - if one gets too popular, you can bet it will be censored and another alternative promoted. Since there is no expectation of free speech from the masses anymore, and leftist fools will side with big tech, denying that any censorship is happening, the tech companies feel absolutely free to stifle their competition through aggressive censorship and control of the public discourse.

    google is absolutely disgusting. half the shit i'm trying to find i can't find anymore. i resort to duckduckgo, which i used to bash for its cumbersome search results, until very recently. i still use google for non-hot topic queries, but anything politcal related or anti left you can't find much anymore. same with youtube results. its absolute shit, unless you change up the filters and sift through a ton of crap to find something useful.
