This scoring is awful. Literally what you have done here is incentivise sites from well funded bad actors, or sites that push more elaborate scams on elderly people.
A plausible and sustainable funding model is a good sign for sites.
- Nextgrid 2y agoIt's about incentivizing sites to do what the user wants them to do. As a user, 99% of the time I am not out to buy something, so all sites that do try to sell me something are just wasting both my time and their server resources. This isn't a complete blanket ban on ads or the commercial web. If there isn't a profitable way to run a website that provides the content matching the search query, the ad-infested website will still come up first. But now, a hobbyist, non-profit or even commercial enterprise that doesn't directly sell to you has a chance to outrank the ad-infested garbage.
