What if you explicitly target it with respect to the money? Most of the crap on Google is going to be monetized sites. If you just block/downrank all the sites with e.g. ads, then the profit motive for spam goes down - the more value you extract, the less value you are able to extract. |

That said, I have no idea how you would do it. More specifically, 1) I see almost everything as an ad, 2) you're going to get an extremely biased internet and logistics/technicalities of the project are hellish.
1) you downgrade all blogs with ads. All journalism (if they advertise their own stuff that's still profit motive and ad, right?) and all company blogs. All social media (that have over 100mln users right now). Also all blogs that are meant to promote author as an authority to get them gigs down the road, I'm guessing. You will be left with more overt PR and
2) organizations who can afford to not have profit motive in any form. That's just unsustainable for almost everything. NGOs are still asking for donations. That's going to be mostly politically motivated messaging and tiny % of people who can afford to just post for free cause they like to (god forbid they lose that position and setup patreon).
Audience allows for attaching marketing, and that allows to attach all content production to business (and other cases I mentioned). Again, I like the idea in principal, but 'lets just get the money out of the system' was tried in many different contexts and the same structural issues resurface.
