Dynastocles: May 29, 2009; "If you'll excuse me, my dinner time is six o'clock. Only gangsters eat at 9 o'clock, after some bootlegging and a hot game of craps."

Time was when you typed a topic into a search engine, you'd get a list of websites related to that thing. Now all you get is endless affiliate marketing sites filling up the first three pages of search results.

In 2004, if I typed in "goku pants," I'd get whatever websites are about that. Maybe people that make them. Maybe people that have opinions about them. Now it would be endless pages of "The TOP 15 Goku Pants in 2022 (UPDATED)" from hastily made-up websites with names like https://www.goku-pants-guide.com.

I miss the old days.

SO, is there a search engine, or a way to use a search engine, that avoids/hides/deletes these spammy-rear end affiliate websites from offending my sight?
