I guess we all kinda knew that, but it’s always nice to have a study backing your opinions.

The measure, from the perspective of Clickbaiters, is purely their own income stream. And there’s no way to hide that from the guy generating the clickbait.
We have a well-defined set of sites and services that embed content within a website in exchange for payment. An easy place to start is to look for these embeds on a website and downgrade the results in your query as a result. We can also see, from redirects and ajax calls off a visited website, when lots of other information is being drawn in from third-party sites. That’s a very big red flag on a site that’s doing ad pop-ups/pop-overs and other gimmicks.
I would put more faith in an open-source solution than a private model, purely due to the financial incentives involved in their respective creations. The challenge with an open model is in getting the space and processing power to do all the web-crawling.
After that, it wouldn’t be crazy to go in the Wikipedia/Reddit direction and have user-input to grade your query results, assuming a certain core pool of reliable users could be established.
