Trends is just search history over time. It is entirely impacted by major events, and in no way demonstrates common awareness. Massive peaks - such as those resulting from ongoing events like a vote to make the release of Epstein files as law, and the ongoing nonsense and slow fed drip of heavily redacted files - skew the charts substantially.
Give me a moment to grab my laptop, and I’ll edit in to demonstrate.
AH - Okay. I see where I have misunderstood what you were saying.
“Awareness” is a separate issue - there’s no way to demonstrate awareness without some really comprehensive periodic survey results (that don’t exist). The claim I made, household name, is based on people actively thinking about or discussing him. There’s no way to know what people have forgotten, and random criminal names from years before may or may not stick around, so the only indicator we have is of people interacting with information about him.

Exactly. Thats all I’m saying. Epstein (and especially the Lolita Express) were not unknowns until after Epstein died. Did he become a more common discussion after? Absolutely, but it isn’t as though people in general were unaware of his existence.
