Every news source blocked generates more noise than signal as its main feature. I doubt that even a regular Fox News reader wants their results full of articles they’ve already read.

#22I'm not surprised to see w3schools.com up there. I haven't come across it recently because of shifts in what I do, but it used to come up so often when I was looking for coding documentation. It was almost always useless.

#23Not the point of the post, but i’m surprised to see less than a million queries per day. Is that all of Kagi, or just some subset?
They only have 43,000 members (stat from the same page), so that's 20 queries a day per member, which doesn't seem that crazy.

#25Pintrest owns all the top 7 blocked results. Good, they've earned it. I never understood why Google let them destroy Google Image search results.
All of those top domains (of which the majority are pinterest) have more than earned it.

What direction was the skew?
There's a couple "left leaning" media sources in the boost list and 3 "right leaning" in the lower list. There's none going to the other way for sources and their generally acknowledged "lean". I interpret that as a skew.
Skew in the user base at least

The Arch Linux Wiki has some awesome information, but it's a little too informal for it to be a go-to for me. It's information is incomplete, opinionated, and sometimes has a "works on my machine" sort of a vibe. But sometimes it just has the answer you need in an easily digestible format. Top 10 source for me, but not a top 3. -- Some nerd with almost two decades of distro-hopping experience.
Yeah, I don't expect comprehensive and definitive documentation from it, nor copy&paste answers. But for getting pointed in the right direction about things that have been obscured by the desktop environments, and then left largely undocumented nowadays, the Arch Linux wiki usually points me in the right direction. Much of it would be pretty confusing to someone who only wanted high-level documentation in terms of th…
Oh it's really cool that you've used the arch wiki in that way. I had already done Linux From Scatch before I ran across the Arch wiki, so I was already familiar with concepts like boot loaders, kernel modules, and daemons. I mostly used it to find some sane config file values.

I'm surprised - simply because I never get Pinterest results on Google. Now admittedly most of my searches aren't the kind where Pinterest is likely to have relevant results, but even then, surely I'd at least see them _sometimes_. But I literally can't remember the last time I saw a Pinterest search result.
Unless, as you suggest, they take over Google Images but not text search results? I could believe that I use Image search sufficiently rarely that I wouldn't have seen a Pinterest result.
