Even just personal shitlists would be golden and make just about everyone happy.

Something I've wanted (which probably exists as an extension in Chrome?) for Google searches is a simple blacklist. Just a little button and confirmation next to a result, telling it to never show this blog-spam-ad-laden-SEO-mess of a page to me ever again. Maybe it's an uphill battle, but for some niche topics (like certain games) there are some sites I keep having to scroll past and sometimes accidentally click that are written in SEO-speak and say a lot without saying anything at all.

Perhaps https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/ublacklist/ might work?
This is sort of what I've been trying to do with Marginalia Search, except I don't really believe a voting system would work. It's far too easy to manipulate. Been playing with the thought of having something like an adblock-list style system where domain shitlists can be collaborated on and shared without being authoritative for the entire search engine.
My search engine is still pretty rough around the edges and limited but I think it works well enough to demonstrate the idea has some merit.
