Would love to see somebody make an image search site that lets you filter all that stuff out. It would be fine with me as a user if it respected no-hotlinking policies too. But the filter could just omit paywalled / registrationwalled sites and those that do trickery like obnoxious watermarks or showing one image to the search crawler and another one to site visitors.
I have nothing against sites trying to make money. But sometimes I want to see just the stuff that is straight out there and isn’t wrapped up in dark patterns.
