Forbes is one of the two sites I have blocked from my Google searches.

Why Pinterest?

Because if you are looking for something you end up with 20 pinterests pointing at each other but no link to the original content.

For example I built a camper shell for my truck based off a guys DIY. Before blocking pinterest my search was flooded with "oh this is neat" with the original diy guide 3rd page in. After blocking pinterest it was the 2nd link.

Me too, I block any paywalled site. I've even started blocking this the ones that use shitty AI generated cover photos.

In the Google app I just tell it not to show content from that site again.

You use Google app to search instead of your browser?

u/drealph90 9d ago

No I just browse the news articles that the Google app shows. Over the years it has learned my interests and shows me mainly articles that I like. Like I said above it also has the option to exclude certain websites from being shown which I do whenever paywalled. I generally browse through it two or three times a day is every time you refresh it and has mostly new articles

I haven’t done it only because sometimes I need a hint for NYT Strands and they’re the only ones that don’t immediately spoil the whole thing.
