About a year and a half ago almost half the results I was getting consisted of those. Most of them were on `.it` TLDs, and I've been blocking all those results since.

There is an official Google publication on this phenomenon that was published a really long time ago, but I'm unable to find it anywhere. Would anyone reading this perhaps know where to find it?

This is interesting. Just the other day I did a search on DDG and had the same thing happen, a full page of .it TLDs that vaguely matched what I was searching for. This is the only time I have seen that and unfortunately I don't remember what search terms I used, probably something related to my recent video card issues.
