ublock ai slop list? (lemmy.fish)

has anyone noticed pages that are just ai slop popping up recently? they have low quality information and serve no purpose but to waste time.

if you haven't experienced these, just search up a common tech problem and click on a generically named site. chances are, it will have a table of context and generally low quality writing. if you get lucky, there might also be some blatant lies in there(for example: this site claims garmin instinct watches have an sd card).

is there a ublock origin blocklist for these? thank you for suggestions.

With how much SEO spam/slop that comes up in search engines, it would probably just be easier to whitelist trusted websites

Hi, what is SEO

[–] goldteeth@lemmy.dbzer0.com 32 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (2 children)

Search Engine Optimization. Basically gaming search engine indexing algorithms so that your content appears more "relevant" (read: crammed full of as many keywords as possible) and thus higher up on search results, usually at the expense of having, you know, actual content worth reading.

I noticed a while ago that the search results were different. Then I noticed that I don't seem to be able to find what I need anymore

Yeah, it's the kind of thing that in utopia would actually help search engines and users find relevant pages, but under capitalism becomes "hey, listen! look at ~~me~~ my ads!"
