Google is adding a new “highly cited” label to search results frequently sourced by other publications, the company is announcing today. Anything from local news stories, to interviews, announcements, and even press releases will be eligible for the new label being added to the search result’s preview image, so long as other websites are linking to it. More info is also being added to Search’s “rapidly evolving topics” and “About this Result” notices.
Obviously, this is not a replacement for due diligence. Patent nonsense is just as 'highly cited' as anything else these days.

Researchers are finding that the intersection of Google, smartphones and our memories is starting to mess with how we judge our own abilities.

#Brave Browser Kicks Out #Google as the Default #SearchEngine in Favor of its Own https://news.itsfoss.com/brave-replaces-google/
Honestly ... there was a time when #google actually returned valuable search results ... not one page 13, on page 1 ... but quite obviously this is mostly a thing of the past ... see screenshot.
I searched for "prediction about future reminder calendar check true" ... and what do I get? Results promoting tracking apps ... sigh.
What I actually wanted: I wanted texts from people who made predictions about the future and make an entry in a calendar to be reminded about their prediction so they can check whether it came true or not ... there must be so many people who've wanted to do that or have done it ... but yeah, their texts are apparently not as relevant to me as some stupid tracking app ... yeah, I get it ... awesome search tech you've got #google ... thank you.
It's just so annoying that I can't just use #google as a full text search engine because of its fucked up commercialized ranking algorithm ... will #yacy ever become widely used?
