I also found this course to be a great resource!
This is genuinely cool, but, just curious, why not use an ad-blocker like uBlock?

Hey, yep I'm in the US. Thanks! Yeah I feel like more explanation is probably better.

That can't be right if, according to OP, the first result was a reddit post from six years ago, yet the date according to Google was Jan 11, 2020. So the first time Google saw that page would likely have been the day it was published.
