I keep trying to find things like “making waffles from sour dough discard” and all the sites are the same: long meandering paragraphs full of links to other things on the site with dubious instructions.

Considering at this point I can pretty much identify the type of site by looking at it; are there good extensions or search engines which might remove them from search results?

    If it were websites made with AI, why wouldn’t Kagi find them just the same? Search engines just search key terms. Can’t see how it would know if the term was typed by a person or a bot. That said I used SearchXNG and it wasn’t bad.

      Kagi does seem to cut out a lot of blogspam. I think Google is incentivised to send people to these sites with adwords ads on them.

        You can also block any slopsite that makes it past so you only have to see it once.

      Kagi doesn’t know but I think kagi’s indexing is just better so you don’t get the blogspam as much and when you do you can block it across your searches.

        And customize the result page. Mine looks like the early 2000’s, without the image, text only. It’s just a great customizable search engine!
