Hey, could you please link the search results page? I'd be happy to take a look and remove any commercialized sites from the network. The best part about this idea is that if there's a low-quality site, we can block the previous node, which will block all the other sites it was linking to. If a site is linking to a poor-quality site, there's a chance they might link to other poor-quality websites. You might ask whether this will also remove good sites from your network, but a good site will always find a way to enter the network.
The blocking feature has not been shipped yet.
So I search for something I would have expected the top results to be discussions, blog posts etc... (controversial on purpose) https://usegrasp.com/search?q=Why+is+terraform+better+than+C...
Kagi (which I replaced google and ddg with over a year ago and have been really impressed with) provides far more useful / interesting results - https://file.io/umsdbo2JcEfg
Obviously it's all subjective etc... but yeah - hope that helps from my little sample size of 1.
Thanks!
I found one annoyingly low-quality site in the Grasp search results, which came from https://www.protocol.com (a news website). By default, outgoing links from news websites are not considered while building the network, as they will bring more junk. I maintain a list of UGC sites and news websites to ignore.
I will add https://www.protocol.com to the network building block list.
BTW, the link you shared https://file.io/umsdbo2JcEfg appears to be deleted.
