Seriously people, stop falling for this statistical misrepresentation/misinformation nonsense. If the interest in a term peaked, does not mean that any significant number of people looked it up. I have compared the term with NBA and Cats to get two generic comparisions:
The percentages in the lower part show how often the term was looked up relatively speaking. So NBA was usually looked for 30-40 times as much and cats was looked for 15-20 times as much.
So compared to all searches, we are talking about maybe something in the range of one in a few hundred thousands to maybe on in a few thousand searches.
Whenever these hot trends show up, you’re only seeing when it hits peak popularity. You need a comparison to see how it is permeating society. Unsurprisingly, it appears very few people are searching for this compared to the general population.
this is worse. you understand how this is even worse…right?
So it is bad if people do google oligarchy and it is worse if they dont?
This is a binary criterion. If both possibilities are bad, then good or bad is not correlated with this criterion.
People knowing what oligarchy is, so few people have to Google it, is worse? Why?

Don’t be too Lemmy bubbled, we talk alot about it here for us to know it but I think it’s an advanced enough word for people with only a high school education not to know.
I’m more impressed that people in the South tuned into the speech.
The average populace let’s me down, every time.
Hey Google, what does “populace” mean?
“Think of how dumb the average person is. Then realize half of em are dumber than that.” -George Washington Carver
“It’s called the American dream because you have to be asleep to believe it.” -Martin Luther King

People waited until January?
It’s because Biden just said oligarchy in a speech.
The media, amongst everyone else
the media, and thus everyone else
Its really obnoxious that Google doesn’t provide any units at all for the vertical axis
I think someone said they used to
They provide one on the left (0, 25, 50, 75, 100)
What those units mean I have no clue, but I’m guessing 100 means 100% and is the highest amount of views, which they then base the rest on (5% of the highest recorded views, etc)
This is exactly how the scaling works, and why it’s pretty useless without another search to compare it to
That’s just an ol’ wives tale man, no way
Oklahoma, of fucking course 🤦
The states that didn’t know, and the states that don’t want to know or don’t care.
