Internet search algorithms have been changed; because protests were made
that algorithms were creating echo chambers.
In discussions of news media <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/News_media>
, an echo chamber refers to situations in which beliefs are amplified or
reinforced by communication and repetition inside a closed system and
insulated from rebuttal.[1]
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Echo_chamber_%28media%29#cite_note-:1-1>
By participating in an echo chamber, people are able to seek out
information that reinforces their existing views without encountering
opposing views, potentially resulting in an unintended exercise in
confirmation bias <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confirmation_bias> .

Perhaps the designers are consciously or unconsciously incorporating an
agenda into the search algorithm.
Instead of finding those things you want to know, the algorithm steers
you towards things that the designers think you need to know?

Yes. I have a strange feeling Google has this problem more than it used
to. I wonder if they need to tweak their algorithm? The other day I was
looking for "fission reactor power density" and it kept giving me
references to energy density. Which is a completely different thing.
Today I was looking for "average monthly cost of natural gas" or
"residential monthly bill," but it kept telling me the cost per therm.
Regarding fission reactor power density, I finally found this, by the
way:

<https://aris.iaea.org/sites/core.html>
I think one of the column headings is incorrect. It says:
Average core power density
[kW/kgU]
I think it should say:
Average Core power density [kW/l]
That makes more sense. Also, that is the heading for these same numbers
are in another table:
