Gated Content Lens / Blacklist

Eli5723

I have an intense dislike for gated content (i.e. sites that allow you to read for 15 seconds before locking you out) I don't think that this content belongs in a top-level index as it is not practically accessible directly from the search. I would like the ability to report and filter out sites like this; maybe it could be a "libre" or "libre-adjacent" lens.

Eli5723 You can already do this by "Blocking" the site in question? We are reluctant to do this site wide because

a) There would be a need to have a maintained list of such websites
b) Users of a premium search engine may also be users of other paid resources on the web

"libre" does not mean "available without subscription"

matkoniecz I'm aware; it was just a slip of the mind. I think it would be nice to annotate and or penalize results that lead to dark patterns though.

Maybe allow for a list of blocked domains in settings so a user can just load a list of gated sites?

Vlad

Heptic Not sure how is different then Block sites feature ?

Vlad oh my bad, didn't realise you could batch add domains
