Title: Hey HN community, I&#x27;ve noticed an intriguing shift in Google search results lately. As someone who often shares comedy videos with friends via WhatsApp, I typically search for &quot;YouTube Download&quot; on Google and click on one of the first few results. However, today I was taken aback to find that no working websites appeared in the search.<p>Upon further investigation, I discovered that numerous recent DMCA reports have called for the removal of these websites, e.g., (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;lumendatabase.org&#x2F;notices&#x2F;34141048#" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;lumendatabase.org&#x2F;notices&#x2F;34141048#</a>) and (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;lumendatabase.org&#x2F;notices&#x2F;34226349#" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;lumendatabase.org&#x2F;notices&#x2F;34226349#</a>). Interestingly, this development coincides with YouTube&#x27;s ongoing ad-blocker crackdown.<p>I don´t agree that those websites necessarily violate copyrighted content. I can&#x27;t help but feel that my trust in Google search results has been further eroded.
