On: Google stops letting sites like Forbes rule search...

Yes, but that doesn't scale.

Scale to what? You could manually look at the top million searches each year with four average college graduates.

In all languages of the world? Is that realistic? How could you know whether something in Vietnamese is spam or not?

In my opinion it could work, but you'd definitely need 40-80 and not 4 people.

Google has ~180k employees. that seems like a pretty small price to pay to make search work...
