Yeah, he lost me with this.

cluttered with content related to conspiracy theories and other extremist content.

Conspiracy theories are a type of "extremist content"? Good luck with the unknown knowns when you think like that...

Umm isn’t this the function of a search engine? To show you a fraction of the web relevant to your search query? I’m no fan of joogle, but this is literally what search engines do.

The only "but" I have is that they cite YouTube as an example, and YouTube algorithm sucks. It aggressively forces more of less on you. I don't like this funneling system. Maybe we should have a "random in search" button? IDK, I search for omelette recipe and click random, the search engine defines a pseudorandom number between 1 and 10000 and returns me that entry.
