Google should vibe out others as well. If I search now "Best CBD Gummies", the first few results are: vice.com independent.co.uk healthline.com observer.com

How is Forbes worse than any of those shallow comparison pages?

FWIW, Kagi is a little better but not much. First results are:

* cornbreadhemp.com * forbes.com * healthline.com

Kagi does let the user adjust the rankings of these sites if they don't want them coming up. While it would be nice to have this done proactively for the link farms, at least the user does have some control.

Forbes did make it on the blocked and lowered leaderboards.
