Thank You video has been reported.
Robert Epstein's 2019 senate testimony. If you're not already aware of his study into the Search Engine Manipulation Effect (SEME), & you value your brain, might be worth watching.
A couple of quotes from the testimony:
"Google presents a serious threat to democracy and human autonomy,"
"... democracy as originally conceived cannot survive Big Tech as currently empowered."
Here's a transcript of the testimony:

& Here's his paper on SEME:

Some alternative search engines worth a try:
presearch.org
startpage.com
duckduckgo.com
I generally stick with DDG, seems to satisfy my 'dissent' bias :-)))
