Even if you could block sites the issue fundamentally is that you don’t know what you don’t know. Ironically YouTube is what some use since any video that features a person reviewing the product is at least guaranteed to not be from a bot.

Maybe, but unlike websites it’s easy to see the “reputation” of a given YouTuber by looking at past videos and the comments at least.

For now, until content farms of chatgpt-style comments and upvotes network together.
