You guys made a valid point. I got a list of 1000 highest traffic sites in the us in 2023, and I did a skim to remove sites that might be actually useful, but apparently I missed a lot.
This was an afternoon project after I read the article about how 16 media companies own ~600 top media sites that's getting organic traffic.
I submitted an update with a more cleaned list (no more .gov and a few other misfires).
Truth is this project is probably better if it uses a crowdsource approach to the source list (like SponsorBlock). It's a bit out of scope for me since I'm not a developer. I just make things I think is fun. My hope with this thing is to raise more awareness to this problem of large brands publishing SEO garbage, and then maybe someone smarter will come along actually make searches usable again.
