like I recognize there aren't a huge number of metrics you could reliably use for "interest" in a topic.

but Google search trends seems pretty low on the credibility hierarchy

by interest you mean news coverage, right?

Is it the interest that died or the focus that shifted due to media coverage?

Another take: it's just like the Panama papers or Edward Snowden all over again.

But look at the cost. At $1b/day I don’t think this will work for that much longer. Not to mention that he’s pissing off every single person and business who needs petrol, gas, diesel. That’s a few billion dollars more

Keeping the Epstein Files relevant doesn’t cost anything and is pretty much guaranteed with 11 new data sets set to be released and the Bondi subpoena and the testimonies of Gates, Black, Staley and others in May.

We’ve seen with Ukraine and Gaza how quickly war fatigued we become. The Files are also fatiguing, but it’s activist and people can do something about it.
