SlopStop is Kagi’s community-driven feature for reporting low-quality, mass‑generated AI content (“AI slop”) found in web, image and video search results.

Kagi Search already fights most SEO spam by downranking sites filled with ads and trackers. SlopStop adds a collaborative element: users can flag suspected AI slop, helping us identify domains and channels whose main purpose is to generate traffic with AI‑generated content.

You can report on a single page, image, or video, with each report individually reviewed. Multiple reports for the same domain or channel help speed up the review process.

Reviews are typically completed within a week and actions (flags and downranking) are applied once this is complete.

+1 for kagi, I greatly enjoy their search - but it should be noted that they do heavily incorporate AI into their services.

Arguably more ethically than most, but still.

    True. But it's optional. I deactivated every AI feature and my browser experience is completely Ai-free.

    I think, to remain competitive and attract a broad customer base today, searchengines are compelled to offer AI features. I'd rather use a provider that offers AI features as an option than one that aggressively pushes them on you.
