DESCRIPTION
The homepage looked like a newspaper. I scrolled down and saw a latest news section and a globalism section. It wasn’t clear what they meant by globalism but I know Alex Jones dislikes “globalists.” There were breaking news articles in the trending section and they were in the center of the layout. Further down the page were political cartoons and editorial opinions.

Google loves Infowars. Its traffic has remained steady for 10 years. Even the most legit websites around have been losing traffic since 2020.
I, on the other hand, do not. Every time I go on Infowars, Alex Jones's narcissistic head is on every other page; endless fake pills and drinks are being advertized because Alex was banned from every decent ad network, and the content is thin.
InfoWars gets steady traffic on Google because people search for Infowars. If it wasn't for people searching for InfoWars, it wouldn't get much other traffic today.
