I always wonder why doesn't Google gives users a personalization option similar to YT's "not interested" which could be used for ranking...? I understand they cannot simply block some website due to antitrust issues, but personalization would be a good rationale and also gives users a good reason to keep their sign-in status.



Because time and time again google insists it knows what we want better than we do.


Your argument doesn't make sense at all since even with that option Google is still in full control of what they want to show.


They probably know that something like that would be games so hard that it would be impossible to filter out the good signal from bad.
