The X user base has shrunk dramatically, which is the main reason major consumer companies have dropped their ad spend there. They were getting far less for their money and effort and hassle. It’s also why Trump has not bothered to come back to his (now un-banned) account there.
X also receives far less media exposure than Twitter used to. For example in the U.S. about a decade ago, it was common for every ad and news broadcast to include the Twitter icon with their Twitter handle on the screen. Entire movies were made with Twitter as a central plot element (e.g. Jon Favreau’s Chef). Reporters were hired and fired based on the size of their Twitter audience.
None of that happens anymore. X gets a bit of news coverage primarily from random controversies and that’s it.
reminded of Chef movie scene.
Imagine you make an omelette every morning, or a grilled cheese sandwich every lunch. Imagine when you first start this habit, you make every meal with care. If you've seen the movie "Chef," remember the scene where he's making a grilled cheese sandwich; I've never seen such care.
But you're not Chef, you're just a guy making a routine breakfast or lunch. As time goes by you get used to the routine. It's just an omelette or sandwich, you'll never think of each particular one once it's consumed. If there's a hole in an omelette, or the bread in the sandwich is skewed, you won't even remember it later in the day. It's just a thing you do every day, and despite any earlier desire to be the best omelette or sandwich maker, the only really important thing is that you've eaten.
Those cops do that job every day, and the only important thing to them is that they've taken someone off the bus and searched them, and they can then report that. Discovery of contraband is just a bonus.
The do it every day, and unless they find something they will never see "you" ever again. In fact they don't even see "you" during the event. You're just a resource so that they can make a report.
You're just a resource.
Would it ever occur to you to apologize to your sandwich for being less than perfect?
Would it ever occur to those police to notice the individual, in a routine played out every day, and apologise or even acknowledge?
You're just a resource.
I think it's probably geography. I'm in Seattle FWIW. The number one hit is a movie from IMDB: "Chef (2014) - IMDb".
The SEO shouldn't actually be too tough because people are quite a bit more likely to link to Chef the company using the word "chef" than anything about cooking.
And hey, Google went with "Go" which is nearly impossible to SEO and it worked out.
They might still take language preference and geography (from IP) into account...
Here in PEI, Canada, if I search Chef in incognito, they're #4 and the first 3 hits are for the movie Chef from 2014.
