There's browser extensions for blacklisting domains on search results. I use uBlacklist. https://iorate.github.io/ublacklist/docs Works on FF and Chrome, and all the major search engines. It's free, and can subscribe to free blacklists. Manually blocking spoofed websites is surprisingly satisfying.

ChubbyChecker posted:lmfao [posting on Something Awfulishly] I've paid for far worse, less useful things. Seriously though being able to get to good, original sources quickly is great, and that's without even considering that the things Kagi will expose on the first page won't ever be seen with Google because they're mired endless pages deep in SEO spam. $10 a month is ridiculous if you're comparing it to "free", but weighing it against other subscription database/search products I use it's a bargain. Worthpoint is $22 a month and worth it at that, and Kagi opens up a lot broader set of information for useful discovery than that site does, for less.

kagi is really good and it’s a shame that the only people who will ever get to use it are computer touchers with a company card

You can't even look up Ron perlman without getting some weird rear end anime girl AI generated competing with photos of the actual person.

IMO the fundamental flaw with this idea is that while you're wasting advertiser's money doing this, you're also giving more money to google. Google served an ad and takes their cut. They don't really care that you spoofed it -- it's not like they do anything about the many click farms extracting money from ad spoofing, as long as they can plausibly deny knowledge. So if the company you are most upset about is google, this is shooting your own foot.
