I know what you mean, sometimes I google Rust specific things (the coding language) and get Rust the game.
/r/rust, the subreddit for the Rust language, regularly (every 1-2 days at most) gets posts meant for /r/playrust, the subreddit for the Rust game. I genuinely don't know how people manage to get as far as posting without noticing where they are.
It’s probably because the “create a Reddit post” form doesn’t require you to even visit the subreddit you are posting to. It DOES show you the rules/sidebar of the subreddit you are about to post to (for /r/rust it includes a link to /r/playrust for the gamers) but apparently many aren’t seeing that.
"Banner blindness" applies to the rules/sidebar. The user sees it, notices it's not what they're looking to interact with, and ignores it. The same thing happens for modal dialogues where the user will click whatever button makes the message go away without bothering to read the message, only the button text.
You are an average person. A program you're using crashes.
The only non-generic word you see in the crash message is "SQLite".
You look it up, find SQLite, and you bother the developers for help.
The problem is as old as labels.
It is hard to perceive that which you are not aware exists even with obvious evidence in your face
That's not a great explanation when there's, you know, rust the material.
For awhile googling “Swift” was like that with Taylor Swift results instead of the programming language.
Likely a case where Google figured out which one you meant through the telemetry of what you clicked on and how you refined your search, now that personalization is automatic. In my case, I get four regular results, which are the financial standard, the programming language, the wikipedia page for the programming language, and an ISP; then I get a "top stories" block that is all about the singer.
More tricky for the sibling comment with Rust, where either one could be valid.
as a person that plays rust and writes rust I feel this all the time
