In "News" google used to have a "blogs" link. I really like blogs so I used to use that. But google removed it years ago. Then google started helping me I put "blog" in double quotes. Google gave me fewer and fewer blogs results. To fill the void I still got non-blog top sites like Quora and Reddit.

A few days ago I did a test and I learned that google will actively block my efforts to avoid crap if I add "blog" or "blogger" or "wordpress" to my search. I did three test searches - one for each word - and I only got one blog post result after all that effort. And the blog post smelled to high heaven of spam.
