Ask HN: How can we mitigate the ill-effects of a worsening Google Search?

The amount of SEO-spam I encounter on my searches has definitely grown a lot. I'm a bit afraid that this will make it more difficult, if not impossible, to reach good webpages. Personal blogs seem like they're not prioritized anymore. I have to append operators like `site:.github.io` or `site:reddit.com` to get good results now. Does anyone have any idea on how we could work on mitigating this degradation of search results? Creating manually maintained lists of the best resources, blog posts, discord servers, articles, videos, etc. related to a topic seems like a viable solution to me. Some subreddits maintain their own wikis that already achieve this for some topics and so do the awesome- repos on GitHub, but these are few in number. I want to see more efforts being poured into this, but see no community actively working on this with goals in sight. Do their exist any that I have missed? Or is anyone interested in creating one? I'd be happy to help!
