Too late to change name to "ublocklist"?
Even "Ublacklist" could give the misleading impression that it's somehow related to uBlock or uMatrix.
this is literally the end of the web. (day of the spider predator animal)
I like the idea, but does it come with a default list? I'd be interested in something like this but that includes most known blogspam sites, with a global list like say pihole provides.
Are you referring to default black list?

I think it was a stop gap solution because Google was overrun with spam sites, like Expert Village, before Google did the Panda update. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Panda
It's still a huge problem. Try searching for a product or product category. For example, search for "best winter coat" on Google. Half the sites are low quality affiliate link farms who don't know anything more about the product than what's in their Amazon description.
Some years ago I got moms. Nowadays Google seems to serve crap.

Could someone explain why they're hated? I don't know much about E3, but used them a few times without issue
I am not sure of the current state of affairs, but in the past (5-10 years ago or longer) w3schools was known for having outdated or sometimes flat out wrong information. They often rank or ranked higher than MDN which is usually the best and most comprehensive source on the subject. So a front end dev would typically want to always see MDN over w3schools.
This is such a great idea, and a mystery as to why no search engine has dared to put it on their engine. Care to enlighten me?
google used to have the personal blocklist extension not sure what happened to it...
I don’t think anyone was maintaining it. So when the SERP changed its layout, the extension broke and Google removed it :(

For a feature to be interesting to just 1% of Google users, it would need to appeal to 35 million users and this is unlikely. Even if it did, features that touch 1% users rarely get to the top of queue (unless those 1% users are "whales").
