Exactly this. Whenever I tried to find some free fonts/icons/illustrations/sprites online, I always got tricked into one of those websites that have the word "free" in its title, but most of the content is locked behind a paywall.

Now I think about it, maybe we should have a blocklist that automatically removes results that invole this kind of deceptive behavior from search results.

Same with 3D assets. There is a website called Free 3D dot com, with page title "3D models for free" and when you search anything their result page literally says "Free 3D <search term> models" but every other result is actually a paid model with no way to filter.
