I see this with questions and answers from reddit or other forums which get syndicated into various other 'developer' sites and get high rankings on Google.

Search engines should let us configure a whitelist of sites for certain categories/context of search.

Which can be so frustrating when a bad answer gets propagated this way.

I've had times where the same "bad" information (whether completely wrong, incomplete, misleading, not best-practice, confusing, whatever manner of "bad") showed up on multiple different sites all on the first page of Google, often clearly copied from one another or the same original quora/stackoverflow/whatever.
