Look up "how to access the deep web" and if you find one website that says install discord, and that post wasnt made in the last hour, ill cashapp you $10
Yeah you could argue that you are correct, but most people dont use it that way.
For example, wikipedia's graphic for the deep web.
Wikipedia on the deep web
Try accessing a Discord channel through your browser without being logged in. They aren't indexed by search engines because you have to be logged in.
So you just ignored my comment and repeated what you said already. Cool.
I just tried accessing a discord channel in a browser withiut being logged in. It asked what name i want and added me to the discord group. No email or signup needed.
I don't care about some arbitrary challenge to get money from you. I'm trying to get you to think critically. If search engines like Google don't index it then it's part of the deep web. Just because things like Discord aren't what people typically mean when people talk about the deep web doesn't make Discord chats not part of the deep web.
And i dont care about arguing semantics with some loser waiting for his turn to talk intsead of discussing something.
things like Discord aren't what people typically mean when people talk about the deep web. Language evolves. Deal with it.
Discord is indexed once you join the group. Google doesnt own the internet and the difinition of the deep web isnt 'what google doesnt touch'
As i said, you dont need an account to join a discord group. It is indexed passed that. Discord is a widely used indexer.
I'm literally discussing with you. You mentioned Wikipedia first but refuse to accept the first sentence of the article on the topic you're talking about.
I literally said this.
Just because something indexes a chat room doesn't make it not part of the deep web. It's specifically about traditional search engines like Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo, etc.
You do need an account to log in. Because of that wen crawlers cannot index it. That's what makes it technically part of the deep web. Search engine wen crawlers not being able to index it.
