FuturisticLover··on Google de-indexed Bear Blog and I don't know why
I did that. But I am not sure what to do with blog and service pages. Can't tell Google to off one of them. For now, I have priortized service page as canonical.
FuturisticLover··on Google de-indexed Bear Blog and I don't know why
Canonical Tags are done perfectly. Never changed them, and the blog is quite old too. I found a pattern where Google considers a page a duplicate because of the URL structure. For example:

www.xyz.com/blog/keyword-term/ www.xyz.com/services/keyword-term/ www.xyz.com/tag/keyword-term/

So, for a topic, if I have two of the above pages, Google will pick one of them canonically despite different keyword focus and intent. And the worst part is that it picks the worst page canonical, i.e., the tag page over blog or blog page over service.

FuturisticLover··on Google de-indexed Bear Blog and I don't know why
Google search results have gone shit. I am facing some deindexing issues where Google is citing a content duplicate and picking a canonical URL itself, despite no similar content.

Just the open is similar, but the intent is totally different, and so is the focus keyword.

Not facing this issue in Bing and other search engines.

FuturisticLover··on Netflix to Acquire Warner Bros
So, the big news has arrived finally
FuturisticLover··on A statistical analysis of Rotten Tomatoes
I find IMDb better than RT. RT even though it has an Audience score. It tends to give priority to the Critics' score, which in most cases we know is influential in one way or another.

IMDb score doesn't rely on a group of people, but on all users. It may give a little more weightage to the US users, but that's fine. Its top movies and TV shows make a lot more sense, unlike RT.

FuturisticLover··on Fictional Brands Archive
There are so many can be added not just from movies but tv shows and anime as well. For example, Capsule corp from DBZ is quite famous. Then there is Incite Inc from Westworld and Westworld is not a company but a park created by Delos.
FuturisticLover··on Netflix has created a self-fulfilling cancelation loop with its new shows
It wasn't on Dark level but it was still good. I was able to finish it within 2 days probably because most of shows nowadays, especially from Netflix wasn't that good.

I can't remember the last time Netflix released an amazing series.

Westworld cancelation wasn't shocking but I was hoping that they would finish the show with 5th and final season.
FuturisticLover··on Japanese Manga are being eclipsed by Korean webtoons
In animation or anime, Japan is still the big player and is going to be for a long time. However, in live action, South Korea is easily has an upper hand. Movies like The Old Boy, Parasite, Train to Busan and show like Squid Game have an international appeal while rarely any live-action Japanese movie made that kind of impact.
FuturisticLover··on Can the Visa-Mastercard duopoly be broken?
Yeah, it's a dream come true. When I got my first credit card, I was very happy. But later within 2 years UPI got introduced, my credit card activity got decreased because it is far more easy to do transaction with UPI than CCs.

And when Indian Government declared BankNote Demonetization in 2016, it further boosted UPI because people don't had the cash, so ultimately online transaction is the only option. At that time, E-Wallet also made a hype but it wasn't feasible.

UPI has many advantage for both users and merchants. And further Google also introduced their UPI app Google Pay along with some local players like PhonePe and PayTm which makes UPI transaction easy not just to send money to other be it friends or a merchant but mobile recharge, Bills, insurance, etc. can be done from these apps via UPI.

FuturisticLover··on Can the Visa-Mastercard duopoly be broken?
It's broken in India.
FuturisticLover··on Death Note: L, Anonymity and Eluding Entropy
It's just 37 eps. Considering an anime, it doesn't have fillers, maybe 1 or 2. The anime is well-crafted as well. Every episode serves purpose in the storyline, especially first 25 eps.
