Instead of spending energy to change Google, why not just leave them for good?

Start with changing default search engine to DuckDuckGo or something else, install uBlockOrigin and Privacy Badger to disable tracking, and gradualy reduce using every Google or application, starting with Chrome.

Be the change you want to see.

I relate to this opinion. There are two reasons why my suggestion might still be useful:

1. DuckDuckGo too is affected by these SEO-gaming sites, so maintaining a blacklist will help us make that experience better too.

2. There are times when only Google can find us what we're looking for, so this will prove useful when we go back to it.
