The algorithms are a deliberatly opaque pain in the rear end and give people wildly different results because they serve different poo poo based on where you live, what you search and click on and also just random stuff they test out on random users. Like X-O said it could even be a result of you poisoning your own search history, like how your recommended videos get hosed up on youtube if you ever click on wrong video

The way to test it is to browse on private mode/incognito. If you still have the same results it's working off of 'regional preferences'.

Supposedly you can get rid of bad recommendations from Google by searching for variations of "I hate <sitename>" three times. (It's weird that in this age of progress we've been reduced to these superstitious shenanigans to get technology to work for us.)

She's just decided she can get more of that sweet monetization cash by pandering to the alt-rights as 'see, girls are on our side' and got her start with the chud 'Fandom Menace' Star Wars crowd but nobody cares about Star Wars flicks right now so Marvel it is!

Renfamous has a whole little thread about how CG IndieGoGos are failing this year whereas EVS' new one for even more of the same issue of Cyberfrog is already at 80K, shooting the idea of 'ComicsGate wants a community of new comics' in the head. https://twitter.com/renfamous/status/1107733387362607104 (One wonders how much of that is Ethan trying to prime the pump.)

It's pretty clear he probably loves comics, almost certainly is some shut-in weirdo, found (unfortunately) a group of similar people in CG, and in turn bought into their garbage wholesale. I almost feel a little bad seeing him called out like that, it's not like he's some industry artist who still can't draw worth a poo poo, he's just some pathetic loser. Almost.

I looked at his twitter and he's one of those people who thinks calling Nazis Nazis is as bad as being a Nazi, so any compassion I might have had disappeared pretty drat quick. Also there's something called "#warcampaign" that's tearing apart the comicsgate community? site, did you see anything about that in your brief venture staring into the abyss?

Yeah, I don't like making fun of people like that unless they're doing straight up hateful poo poo. But now I see Skwirl's post and gently caress this guy.

I just read through a lot of the tag and I still have no idea what the gently caress. Someone said mean things about someone else? Doug Tennapel may be involved? Someone's planning some kind of CG-adjacent platform and people are arguing whether non-CGers should be allowed? It's all very confusing because they don't stick to one subject and also twitter's muddled algorithm sorting of posts does not help.

Apparently some people left a group called Indiecron and Doug TenNapel lied about talking to them beforehand? Some people are brutally upset he 'defamed loyal ComicsGators.' They're also upset at Jon Del Arroz (who you will remember as the leading Hispanic voice in science-fiction) for making noises that's he also in the group when he was apparently 'kicked out' along with Vox Day. Now I am dumber.

Unlike most CGers, EVS is actually talented, so it's not a *huge* surprise his campaigns are actually successful, though we're certainly well into "shame on you" territory.

He openly states - brags, almost - how it's not been scripted, possibly even plotted, and he's been posting panels that some of which he has drawn before. The original IGG is seven months late and counting.
