Looks like the Tom's hardware article has been modified since. No mention of disinformation anywhere other than the URL. Now it explains that Yandex is a search engine with crawlers.

Journalists keep being the first dominio is disinformation.

The world is getting a break from Russian bots thanks to Kyiv.

They know what they were doing with this subheading. "Russian bots" means disinfo sockpuppets in the common imagination. Nobody is thinking "oh, thank god! Russian search indexes are functioning poorly today. Thank you, Kiev!"

Given that disinformation is in the URL it's basically guaranteed that at least the title of the article used to be different.

I wonder if there are any snapshots of it. Archive.org blocks my VPN so it's a pain for me to check.
