I don't understand why so much corporate blogs are blocked. Most of them are about their product, or about the industry in general.

- For example, kaspersky blog doesn't look bad.

- CCleaner blog is just a list of update.

They aren't, that's why they're blocked. You can see more detail in the issues but the blocked corporate blogs often make clickbait to advertise their product, like https://www.ccleaner.com/knowledge/windows-11-problems-how-t...

    I think that's misleading on it's own and that makes this list useless. From that logic you should block every single corporate blog out there.

    This looks like someone's personal list not a serious effort.

      If you'd like to search for how to fix a technical problem and want the first page of results to be articles saying "download/buy our product to fix it now!", then the list probably isn't for you.

      There are quite a few company blogs I haven't blocked, mainly ones that are actually informative and aren't trying to trick you into looking at their products.

      I considered this previously. I feel like the web would be a vastly improved experience if you just blocked everything affiliated with a corporation as opposed to a university, nonprofit, or a personal site.

      That is indeed something I'd want.

      It is the OP’s personal list and they were completely open about that.

      This has just started. Instead of whining, contribute, the more people contribute, the more "serious effort" it will become.

Because corporate blogs are predominantly nothing but marketing fluff that dominates search results so thoroughly that they drown out any actual useful information.
