AI Slop in Small Web results

A Hacker News discussion flagged stack-junkie.com as AI slop appearing in Kagi's Small Web results, with user fxgn noting the site was added to the smallweb.txt list in a GitHub commit on August 6 and that an August 5, 2025 Wayback Machine capture showed it was not AI slop at that time. fxgn agreed the site should now be removed, while another commenter said qainsights.com could not be found in the smallweb.txt list.
