Long time lurker here.

I think forums as a whole have been killed off by SEO. The only way to get search results from real people is including the name of the forums in the search. If you do not know the forum, your shit out of luck.

A year or two ago I wanted to buy my first fishing pole since I was 12. All I could find were regurgitations of specs seemingly written by someone who has never fished a day in their life. It was just articles linking to Amazon.

I don't there is any tech or .gov conspiracy here. The Internet grew up and it is just a way to push products.

That or dead Internet theory is true and y'all are just bots.
