My methodology and reasoning for making a blocklist to finally clean up unwanted content from search engines!

    The problem with search engines is that they try to be as objective as reasonably possible, which means that they don’t pick Website A over Website B just because it has better content. What matters is metrics and being favorable to the algorithm.

    I agree, but on the other hand, shouldn’t a search engine do exactly that, search for the best content?!

      You’d think, but it boils down to just showing you the most popular content, even if it’s just clickbait and advertisements.

      and they do it, except that they show the content that’s best for the search engine’s company.
