If you are gonna post dumb crap, don’t bother. “Aww, poor DSOG doesn’t even appear on a irrelevant google search”, yeah i proved you wrong twice, now cope and seethe.

Really you just need a hug from John and an assurance that he cares about your issues. But I think that this has a snowball’s chance in hell of happening.

Ehh? Wrong reply? I was just showing you how John games search engine to drive clicks, and he is also greek, so all in all, weird reply.

There is a response from America for you fnd. I don’t agree with it and I find it very not cool but it’s how you are permitted to see us Americans so why not:

If i put “palworld mods” on search engine DSOG is the 30 website it shows, so it’s not so bad, not great either. Also if i put “palworld fsr 3” DSOG comes in 2 in search engines, and it is probably the reason John quickly salvaged another palworld mod story, because his mod guide is already too low on search engine. John is a clickbait master, gotta catch them all.

I was thinking if one where to search for “Grounded Commonwealth FO4 mod”, then surely DSOG would theoretically pop up on the 1st page, since no site dares cover it. Currently when you search it you only find links to fallout fan forums, a reddit thread bashing the mod and some youtube videos (mostly unknow youtubers doing a Let’s Play). If i search for “controversial FO4 mod” there is only a mention of the mod in “know your meme” website and a youtube video by Mutant Mods, a content creator that DSOG promoted a while ago (he also censors the name of the mod in his video so people don’t know where to look for and removes comments if someone names the mod).

I seriously doubt it would have made first page on a Google search. It’s been years ago that I did a search on Google concerning DSOG just out of curiosity and things may have changed since then but I searched the following:

“pc gaming news”

DSOG wasn’t even in the first 20 pages. There were links to obscure sites and some that weren’t even around anymore but not a single link to DSOG. If that has changed then it’s a good thing. This site deserves at least some recognition that it even exists.

“What could be gained by this site writing an article about it being wrong? Do you think that would have had some impact on how the modder got treated by mainstream gaming media?”

For this site: Clicks. For the modders It would help by being a gaming news first page on search engines, so it would help the mod reach way more than some random comments talking about it. If John wrote about the mod as neutral as possible, i don’t think he would even be cancelled by ads or whatever.

“Do you think that would have had some impact on how the modder got treated by mainstream gaming media?”

It probably would, as i explained earlier. Some gamers see a game/mod that is good but obscure, they try to use their influence to spread the word. And to be honest, John rarely does this, when he covers mods, it’s usually because the game is well know, fan games and all that, he could do some charity from time to time instead of running a 24/7 clickbait enterprise.
