Show HN: Mystery Search – Google, but you but you get the last person's search
mysterysearch.lolFunny. Clever. But ultimately this is letting someone else control where you go, so could turn into people spamming their own content or sending people to disturbing content. Looks like the kind of thing that will be amusing for a week before it goes steeply downhill.
A pretty valid point If people want to use this for self promotion I don't mind that - finding new content is one of the things that makes this this interesting Disturbing or spam content is the main issue, at the moment I have some basic filters set up to silently ignore repeat searches and anything that doesn't pass a profanity filter which seem to be working well, I might have to explore something more sophisticated if I do run into any issues
We can say we used it in its glory days, before it was used to share disturbing content.
I like this idea, but there has to be some mechanism to prevent everyone trolling.
A couple of times I got:
> Redirect Notice
> The page you were on is trying to send you to https://www.example.com/.
> If you do not want to visit that page, you can return to the previous page.
Maybe something to do with the previous searcher entering a url?
