Google results are personalized, based on location, search history, etc. The fact that I'm in Argentina has been adding a lot of noise to results on searches where my location is not relevant at all.
In this case, I suspect that Google thinks these hacked sites with developer target content are relevant to me, because of my regular search history.
This seems to be a common theme in the industry. Recommenders heavily overweight location - an incredibly general factor, even in the presence of troves of specific, individual level data. Goes to show how little basic reasoning really goes into how these systems work.
Localized search is useful at times (restaurants for example, I like getting the local McDonald’s or China Wok rather than the biggest one in New York) but it’s completely useless for many terms. But maybe not the ones Google makes the most money on.
P.S. Chrome, incognito window.
My feeling is that since that query is SO unusual for me, based on my search history (I can't even say what it means) it raises the "likelyhood" that the hacked spam sites with programming terms that also include those keywords are good results for me.
If I search for something more typical, like "Spider-Man No Way Home" or "Ruby rails tutorial" the results don't include hacked sites.
