I am currently self-hosting my own meta search engine instance (searxng), which allows me combine searches from different engines (e.g. Google, Bing, Yahoo, etc), but also to filter out websites that I don’t want to show up.

The only website to make my blacklist so far is slant.co (useless SEO-riddled site that always comes up when I search for software comparisons). I also automatically redirect all reddit.com links to old.reddit.com.

I’m looking to expand this list. So, which websites do you blacklist? Either using software, or just mentally.

    What do people not like about Pinterest? I’ve actually found them very useful for finding pictures of my niche subjects

      You cannot just open the image. You must log in to even see most images. Even working around this its scaled to tiny resolution. All content stolen/copied with zero credit/source but their seo outcompetes the original sources.
