Ask HN:有人能解释一下这个 Gsearch 兔子洞吗?

1 分•作者: Baljhin•3 个月前
这太奇怪了,甚至在 HN 上发帖更奇怪,但我不知道还能去哪里分享(而且我几乎不使用“社交媒体”),我对自己发现的东西感到非常好奇,并希望社区能帮助我弄清楚这是如何发生的。 我会尽量简短地描述——因为你们可以自己测试并得出关于原因的理论。 我在浏览 YouTube 时,偶然发现了一个看起来很吸引眼球的频道,叫做“Hook Global”。(这不是推广。事实上,我怀疑他们是我发现的这件事的一部分。)出于好奇,我偶尔会去一个频道的页面看看他们的简介。正如预期的那样,这个频道有典型的俗套的自我推销。 我想了解更多关于他们的信息,于是我进行了一次典型的 Google 搜索。然后我就开始深入研究了…… 我不得不进行这个查询: `"Hook Global" -site:youtube.com` 因为他们是一个 YouTube 频道。我的第一个搜索结果显示了一个 LinkedIn 条目,后来我得知那是他们在 LinkedIn 上的公司主页。暂时跳过它! 奇怪的是,我的第二个结果是这个:https://www.hoover.org/research/michael-mcfaul-whether-us-helps-ukraine-comes-down-idiosyncrasies-mad-king 我之所以点击这个链接,是因为在 Google 搜索结果的“摘要”中,有一部分“文本内”显示: “Go to channel Hook Global” 稍后会详细介绍。 对我来说,点击这个链接会**立即**重定向到一个 YouTube 视频,即使 URL 是上面显示的那个。重定向甚至不是到链接托管网站的频道;而是到另一个频道。 (顺便说一句,我使用的是配置了 DoH 的 Firefox 浏览器,运行在 Windows 上,并安装了 uBlock(Manifest v2 版本),拥有大量的过滤订阅——其中一两个会移除跟踪参数。) 我以为这个重定向一定是巧合,所以我用隐私窗口打开了这个链接……结果是相同的重定向,到同一个视频。 好吧,你可能会想,“那又怎样?” 嗯,我进行了更多的 Google 搜索查询(这里不一一描述——除了一个,LinkedIn 页面确认“Hook Global”的网站是“hook.online”,它重定向到“hooknews.com”,这是“Hook Media Network”的网站)。 但最终,我真正想报告的是这个查询: `"Go to channel Hook Global" -site:youtube.com` 而令人震惊的是:几乎**所有**搜索结果都硬重定向到了一个 YouTube 视频。 甚至不是到 Hook Global 频道。似乎这些视频与搜索结果的标题,或者网站的所有者有关。(我还没有进行足够的测试来得出结论。) 你们自己试试,就能真正体会到我所描述的。以下是一些我在第一页上看到的搜索结果: https://cew.georgetown.edu/about-cew/ https://www.uticaschools.org/news/1822826/a-special-message-from-dr-spence-reflecting-on-black-history-month-2026 https://www.hoover.org/research/trumps-latest-bomb-watch-stanford-professors-blunt-take-sumit-ganguly-exclusive-h1-b http://dartgo.org/250blackhawklive https://z.umn.edu/ug-livestream26 https://www.jesuitnola.org/2026/02/27/dear-blue-jay-welcome-to-jesuit/ https://on.nyc.gov/44wHbdO 最后,我切换到了 Chrome 浏览器,它也安装了 uBlock,并且配置了不同的 DoH 服务器——结果是一样的。(奇怪的是,大多数结果的 URL 路径中都有 `/link/`。) 我还去了我的手机,通过 Chrome 运行了这个查询(是的,我很糟糕,我需要禁用/隐藏它并使用 Firefox Mobile。抱歉!),通过设备上的 VPN——结果也是一样的。 那么……这是什么?怎么做到的?为什么?还有其他人看到同样的效果吗?这是一种 SEO 黑帽/暗网的手段吗?

Okay this is very weird and even weirder to post to HN, but I don&#x27;t know where else to share it (and I don&#x27;t use most &#x27;social media&#x27;) and I&#x27;m really quite intrigued with what I&#x27;ve found, and would like the help of the community to determine how what I found is even possible.<p>I&#x27;ll try to keep the description brief - as you&#x27;ll be able to test this yourself and determine your own theories for the cause of this.<p>So I&#x27;m browsing YouTube and come across one of a zillion channels that looks clickbaity - &#x27;Hook Global&#x27;. (This is NOT a promotion for it. In fact, I&#x27;m suspicious they&#x27;re apart of what I&#x27;ve discovered.) Out of curiosity, I do on a rare occasion go to a channel&#x27;s page and read their Description. As expected, this one has the atypical droll self-promotion.<p>I wanted to find out more about them, so a typical Google search I did. Down the rabbit-hole we go...<p>I had to do query:<p>&gt; `&quot;Hook Global&quot; -site:youtube.com`<p>being they&#x27;re a YT channel. My first search result showed a Linkedin item, which I later learned is their company page on LI. Skipping that! - for now.<p>Curiously, my second result was exactly this: https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.hoover.org&#x2F;research&#x2F;michael-mcfaul-whether-us-helps-ukraine-comes-down-idiosyncrasies-mad-king<p>The only reason I clicked this link is that in GSearch&#x27;s (what is it called - &#x27;result summary&#x27;?), part of the &quot;intext&quot; is -<p>&gt; &quot;Go to channel Hook Global&quot;<p>More on this in a moment.<p>For me, clicking on that link redirects IMMEDIATELY to a Youtube vid, even though the url is what you see above. The redirect is not even a channel for the link&#x27;s host-site; instead to another channel.<p>(FYI I&#x27;m using Firefox with DoH configured, on Windows, and uBlock (the Manifest v2 version) with a ton of filter subscriptions - one or two of which remove tracking parameters.)<p>I thought this redirect must be a fluke, so I opened the link in a private window...Same redirect, to the same vid.<p>Okay, you might be thinking &#x27;So what?&#x27;<p>Well, I did more gsearch queries (too much to describe here - except one, the LI page confirms &#x27;Hook Global&#x27; webpage as &#x27;hook.online&#x27; which redirects to &#x27;hooknews.com&#x27;, site for &quot;Hook Media Network&quot;)<p>but ultimately this query is what I really want to report:<p>&gt; `&quot;Go to channel Hook Global&quot; -site:youtube.com`<p>And this is what&#x27;s stunning: (nearly) every search result is a hard-redirect to a Youtube video.<p>Not even to the Hook Global channel. Seems the videos are related to the search-result&#x27;s Title, or to the site&#x27;s owner. (I haven&#x27;t done enough test to be conclusive.)<p>Try it yourself, to really appreciate what I&#x27;m describing. Here are some search results that came up on just Page 1:<p>https:&#x2F;&#x2F;cew.georgetown.edu&#x2F;about-cew&#x2F;<p>https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.uticaschools.org&#x2F;news&#x2F;1822826&#x2F;a-special-message-from-dr-spence-reflecting-on-black-history-month-2026<p>https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.hoover.org&#x2F;research&#x2F;trumps-latest-bomb-watch-stanford-professors-blunt-take-sumit-ganguly-exclusive-h1-b<p>http:&#x2F;&#x2F;dartgo.org&#x2F;250blackhawklive<p>https:&#x2F;&#x2F;z.umn.edu&#x2F;ug-livestream26<p>https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.jesuitnola.org&#x2F;2026&#x2F;02&#x2F;27&#x2F;dear-blue-jay-welcome-to-jesuit&#x2F;<p>https:&#x2F;&#x2F;on.nyc.gov&#x2F;44wHbdO<p>Finally, I did switch over to Chrome, which also has uBlock, and a different DoH server configured - same effect. (Curiously most of the results had &#x27;&#x2F;link&#x2F;&#x27; in their URL path.)<p>I also went to my phone and ran the query via Chrome (yes, I&#x27;m bad, I need to disable&#x2F;hide it and use Firefox Mobile. Sorry!), passing thru an on-device VPN - same effect.<p>So... What? How? Why? Anyone else seeing the same effect? Is it some kind of SEO blackhat&#x2F;darkweb at play?
