Which threads of Sanctioned Suicide should be shown first to visitors? (on search engines for example)

[noname223]

I searched for Sanctioned Suicide on duckduckgo. And I think it showed me the first results when you search for it from Germany.

One of the first threads was one of mine.

Is being on Sanctioned Suicide one of the most dangerous things you do in your life?

I think there are different levels of this question. Media would say the biggest risk if you spend time on SaSu is that this suicide cult convinces you that suicide is the greatest thing ever. And then you kill yourself because this forum convinces you of that. Personally, I almost killed...

Which one would you like to be the first in search results?

If the search engines were truly fair, then the most visited links would be shown first. But we know people can pay for higher links and the search engines themselves are tweaked to serve up some links more than others to push agendas even without being paid to do so.

Also, even the "fair" way can be unfair. A long time ago I sold things on eBay. Sometimes I'd see other sellers getting lots of bids on an item of lesser quality than the one I had. I started digging into it and realized if you searched for the correct terms, my auctions showed near the top... BUT... far too many people can't spell, and if you searched for common misspellings, my auctions never showed up at all. I had to literally put intentional typos and add keywords to my auctions in order to increase traffic.

Also, search engines tend to be self-fulfilling... in that the most shown/most clicked links bubble to the top whether or not they are good links. People click the top link, maybe several links, and if they get fed up they just stop. Even if that first link was useless it was still at the top and your click helps keep it there for the next person who will tend to click the first link... and so on...

It's why you can start "why does..." in a search engine and you see the crazy shit autocomplete suggests for you to search for because so many people search for stupid shit... and searching for real things is actually a lot more difficult because it is rarer.
