I don’t buy it. The sun is dangerous because you don’t feel pain when it damages your retina. So if people actually googled it, they suffered from nocebo.
But looking at bright light still hurts your eyes. When I go from my dark bedroom to my bathroom with an Eastward facing window with the sun coming in full blast it hurts my eyes. Also nothing about the search says anything about retina damage specifically.
There's a difference between immediate feedback and delayed, not to mention that pain doesn't actually need existing neurons, it can fire solely on the CNS not receiving signals it was expecting like in phantom limb
Tldr meh, maybe
Go look at the sun and tell us if you get a headache
