I use soulseek (well nicotine+ for linux, but same network). For years know I have know that searching for certain terms will fail to give results because they are being filtered. For example “bryan” or “adams” returns no results for me. Although I can find these items in other ways- I’m curious if there have been any new finds on how to bypass this?
This is the first I’ve heard of this and I can’t stop laughing because its Bryan Adams.
Who else is filtered??
There are lots of terms. I discovered this because there is an older song I like that has his vocals over some trance - it is by Chicane called “don’t give up”. I also found Chicane is blocked. This causes a streisand effect for me where I will purposely search for and share items that are censored regardless if I like them or not.
This is a massive tune to be fair
Any ideas why this happens? I’ve gotten some blank results as well in some occasions and now I’m wondering if this is why
afaik they blacklisted certain search terms after getting copyright strikes, not sure where i read that though.
No Bryan Adams? What will I doooooo???
