SEO sites have an Achilles' heel though: they need to make money somehow, and 99% it's going to be ads. So filter them out based on that. Create a space for a noncommercial web.

They can also make money by selling things. Much harder to detect algorithmically than ads, and I don't know if you want to filter it out?

Or by scams, hoaxes, fraud, blackmail, pump-and-dump, propaganda, ....

Less than ads and subscriiptions, but enough to fund a lot of crap.
