Overheard a guy at a coffee shop say 'SEO is dead' and then immediately ask the barista how to get his podcast to show up on Google

Ha! That's honestly kind of heartbreaking and funny at the same time.

Wait, was it a total flop or did it actually work for a bit before dying out? I'm curious if the idea itself was solid and the execution just sucked, or if nobody ever bought into it from the start. Reminds me of those local businesses that try one big promotion and then vanish like they never existed lol.

Honestly, I've seen this pattern everywhere, not just with businesses. It's like when someone tries to start a new hobby, goes all in on buying gear, then drops it after a week. That big promotion thing you mentioned, it's usually a desperate last attempt, not a solid plan. But sometimes the idea is actually decent, just the timing or the location was terrible, or they didn't have enough cash to keep it going long enough. Tbh, most things that vanish fast are more about poor planning than the idea itself being completely worthless.
