Which search engines in 2021 give you real, interesting websites and not SEO gamed content pages that exist only to serve ads?

You could try https://searchmysite.net/ which only includes user-submitted and moderated websites, and tries to keep out spam by detecting pages with adverts and heavily downranking them in the results.

Bubbling can be avoided with something like DuckDuckGo or Startpage, albeit SEO gamed content is still an issue.

Marginal search engines may be better at avoiding it, as optimizing for them wouldn't be that profitable, but I haven't tried any.

You could try checking out lower results, or search the SEO gamed content for hints that help you dig deeper.
