This is all real and I was planning to go over everything to try to warn people about these places, because kids are still being sent there everyday, but I just found out that Google is not displaying links to my Hive posts, in their search results.

I didn't know that this would be an issue and I'm not sure if Google is blocking all content from Hive or just content that doesn't get a lot of votes.

This is really discouraging, because I wanted to make this information easily accessible for parents who are googling it, to try to save some kids from ending up in there.

Over the next few days, I'm going to continue performing Google searches to see if they will add this post to their search results, but if it doesn't show up, then I don't know what I will do.

Not really sure what to say about the google stuff. I get links up nice and high at times but that's because I'm creating something new; one of a kind.

I asked because there's a lot of cult-like behavior happening in crypto, especially when combined with social media. Just thought someone with experience would be able to shed a little more light on how things start and what to look for, in general. That could be a series on it's own but again, in general, people get lured into that stuff, and don't even know it until it's too late.

I'm curious to know which group or crypto you are referring to?

I think a lot of survivors became de facto cult experts, because we all went through this weird denial phase where everyone began consuming as much literature as we could on cults, especially the ones with bullet points with like ten or twenty things that all cults do, to try to convince each other that we were or weren't just in a cult.

Just in general. Look how many got burned by charismatic 'influencers'.

It's funny that you mentioned this, because, a few years ago, I actually made this same comparison about Ned and I think this was probably one of the funniest post that I had ever written, here is a link to it.

I remember that. Even voted. Some the best satire coming out of the time period. That's a good memory. Now I'm chuckling at the thought of the time I wrote this. Sun basically owned the top trending slot so I showed up outta nowhere and bumped him down to number 2 with that post. I know this is off topic but, that's life sometimes.

That was a good one, I especially liked the image of you fan-boying over Ned only to be so disillusioned that you tore down your posters made me laugh.

Back then, I made a bunch of parody accounts, like @neds-intern and @justins-butler, here is a list of Tron rules that were really funny.
