Those weren't really Brilliant, so had to point this. (Also the game was terrible lol)

Chess.com recently changed the way it evaluated a move as "Brilliant", so now a lot of players frequently getting them, but the problem is a lot of them are actually pretty easy and not so "Brilliant."
In one of the recent games, I got 4 brilliant moves back to back, just because I knowingly "hung" a piece which was not really hanging.
yes, this is what "brilliant move" is now...

A true brilliant move satisfies 4 criteria
1) It is a winning move: losing or drawing moves are not brilliant
2) It is unique: when several moves win, then none is brilliant
3) It involves a sacrifice: aesthetically pleasing
4) It is a quiet move: no check or capture as these are too obvious

How can a sacrifice be a quiet move? Also if there’s only one move that draws/equality in a position and it’s very tough to spot than it’s surely Brilliant.

Here are 3 examples of true brilliant moves.

Congratulations on contradicting your own criteria with your examples! Each of your examples breaks at least one of your criteria!
Botvinnik's Ba3 is considered brilliant but is not a 'quiet' move as Ba3 is attacking the Black queen.
Euwe's Rh8 is considered brilliant but the engine does not evaluate the position after Rh8 as winning for him; his opponent blundered shortly after.
Marshall's Qg3 is considered brilliant but he had alternative ways to win, as he was a piece up at the time.
Rubinstein's Rxc3 in his Immortal Game is considered a brilliant move despite it being a capture.

Quiet move = neither check (+) nor capture (x)
Botvinnik's Ba3 satisfies all 4 criteria.
