One of my biggest complaints about Google is the prioritization of pop culture slop over everything else. I feel like I'm frequently getting auto-corrected because some Netflix show is titled with a pun of a phrase or there is a dramatization of some historical figure that Google considers more relevant than the real person.

Google "Queen Cleopatra" is a good example for me. 95% of the results are about the Netflix documentary. There is bodies of work dedicated to the history and legacy of this queen. Quality content, produced by leading academics, historians and universities. And yet Google insists I should know everything about this poor production (a bit of an understatement) and nothing else, except for a wiki article as one of the results (Good job Google, you at least got this bit right).

Google knows so much about me. And yet it continues to act as though it doesn't.

I think it’s the word ”Queen” (which is not normally used to refer to the ancient ruler). If I just google “Cleopatra” I only see results about the historical figure.
