Yes I like that. Let's go further: What Kagi needs is to use AI to figure out what domains are full of 'commercial' activity (buy/cart buttons, ads, telemetry, SEO, login-walls, etc), give those domains a 'commercial' score from 0 to 1, and then when the user slides the Kagi® Commercial Control Slider™ down, nothing with a commelcial score above that point shows up. If the user slides it to zero, the kind of sites which should be the supermajority of results should be the non-commercial non-monetizeable geocities-tier passion project sites built by, and forums frequented by, obsessed autists.
It's the only way to fix search: designs which are detectable attempts at monetization should be nerf-able by the user. A new search game must be set up where seeking money kills your site rankings in search. I only care about sites where the webmaster is paying and working to tell me something he cares about, for free, because he is obsessed. No I don't want to buy your stupid product/service, I don't have money to spend and spending it on anything except survival and advancement is counter to my strategic interests. I want autist site and forum results, I do not want marketing-driven money making results... period.
If the site makes money, it prima facie doesn't have my interests at heart. This heuristic works really well for me.
