Threw a few basic keyword searches at it and it just returns Wikipedia / Britannica as the top results, consistently.

Then I went fishing for anime torrents and got some fairly decent results.

I did some basic "news of the day" searches and I get back exactly what you'd expect. Links to PBS and NYT and WaPo for the most part.

Somehow, this is marginally better than Google/Bing, but not by much. I'm really not seeing a difference. Other than "Its based because we're conservative" what is the sell on this digital tool?

Conservatives are the hot new bait in the tech world

I hope they all get taken for long slow rides. Preferably to the bottom of large bodies of water. Or even ponds, those work too.

A new definition for "pond scum".

I mean, maybe. But I'm still not even sure what this is selling.

It's not like Conservapedia, which is legitimately unhinged. It's not Black Rifle Coffee, which is basically just a grift for US Military Base grocery stores. What's the point?

They're too busy getting angry over the latest culture war fad to do the hard work of enshittification

Google has been so enshittified that a le based anti-WOKR right wing alternative is still more useful lmao
