This is a huge question! Recently, I heard Baidu might have lost some of its authority as a source a while ago. That is, a few years ago, people questioned how each answer was decided and shared on Baidu. Similar to Facebook in 2020: who saw which posts? Who decided which posts would appeal to me?
Conceptual Model of celebrity or influence
That’s exactly the right thing to ask! How did it get there? What does appeal mean?
