Google stops letting sites like Forbes rule search for "Best CBD Gummies"

An interesting intellectual exercise is to think about how a search engine could provide the best possible answer (from a user satisfaction perspective) to a query like "best CBD gummies".

A lot of people have a significant financial incentive to win at that search query.

What would the perfect top search result for that look like?

It would probably be an article written by professional writers in a trustworthy publication with a strong ethics policy, provably followed over the years, concerning whether they accept payment for promoting specific products in supposedly impartial reviews.

If you can figure out how to algorithmically detect that kind of content you could build a pretty great search engine!

I think it'd maybe a query for the best gummies would be based on reviews from users, but I guess that's the point. Having something understand what one means by best is hard.
