I've been thinking about this too. The closest thing is uBlacklist (Chrome extension) which lets you block domains from search results. But it's manual — you have to block each domain one by one.
What I really want is something that learns from my behavior. If I consistently skip past a domain, downrank it automatically. Like a personal search quality signal.

The real problem is that search has degraded so much that we need tools to fix it. I spent 30 minutes yesterday trying to find a genuine user review of a product. Every result was either affiliate spam or AI-generated content.
Someone building a "curated search" layer on top of Google/Bing with community-driven domain quality scores could have something real.

I built something like this as a side project — a Chrome extension that tracks which results you click and which you skip, then reranks future results. Got about 500 users but the maintenance burden of keeping up with Google's DOM changes is brutal.
The business model challenge: people expect search to be free.
