We could have an “organic” search engine which only positions itself for “normal” webpages, and defines normal. For example, the webpage should have a title and max 4 paragraphs, on the topic, and shouldn’t include storytelling. Technical problem-answer oriented pages should only contain various aspects of the problem, but no storytelling either. Fewer phrases to index, more density of keywords, easier to index. And maybe we should come back to the rules of 1. speed 2. content being in the original HTML 3. the react hydration shouldn’t dilute the HTML.

It doesn’t matter what its artificially-defined rules are good. But people would enjoy going there better than on Google, because you’d find the organic pages.

It doesn’t matter that Google would also index them. It’s like the Panamax, it defines rules but others can use those rules to.

No need to reinvent the wheel. Just exclude from the index any websites which trigger the behaviour of uBlock Origin. Job done.
