There can be a middle ground with mixing both random and trusted content. The problem with current search results is that SEO optimization and content marketing pretty much ruin search results with answers that score high on keywords but are actually low in value.

yeah... no. At least not in my opinion.

The mixing of random and "trusted" content is already what is being done with pagerank.

Truth is an agreement and trust is superficial. I know, I know there is truth in code, but that does not mean that the bigger concept aligns.

I mean damn, we went as far as defining math as the "universal truth" because its replicateable. I dont think anybody wanted to convert reality to numbers but here we are represeting them this way. But hey, if you can develop a mathematical formular why blogspost A about "how to setup your linux computer" is much more true that blogpost B im really all ears.
