Why this is a signal and not a headline

Most feeds rank whatever is loudest right now. TechDrift asks a different question: what is still here, across independent sources, after the noise moves on? A topic is only promoted once it repeats across enough distinct articles, holds across more than one collection run, and measurably rises against its own prior baseline rather than against the day's overall volume, so a single high-volume aggregator cannot manufacture a trend on its own.
