Google search is one of the most secretive, closely-guarded black boxes in the world. Well, maybe not anymore. In the last quarter century, no leak of this magnitude or detail has ever been reported from Google’s search division. If you're in #SEO, you should probably see this.

Viral score

Based on absolute engagement — the platform doesn’t expose follower counts here, so large accounts score higher.

From likes, comments.

Why it worked

Short enough to read in full without expanding, which removes a step before the point lands.
Short sentences keep the pace up, so the reader never has to re-read a line.
Opens on a negative, which reads as a warning and is harder to ignore than a claim.

The mechanics

Hook: Plain observation
Structure: Hook → Landing
Style: Conversational paragraphs at a steady pace.
Tone: plain, matter-of-fact
Written for: Growth and marketing teams

It's important to me that this Labour goverment improves your life and your community in ways you actually notice. Al has enormous potential to do that. While the Tories stifled growth and innovation, my government will use Al to turbocharge our Plan for Change.

More than 1 million people downloaded Codex App in the first week. 60+% growth in overall Codex user last week! We'll keep Codex available to Free/Go users after this promotion; we may have to reduce limits there but we want everyone to be able to try Codex and start building.

It's not my data. The source is Cluvio, which is linked to in the article. I'd link to it in this tweet, but ironically, that would kill engagement. And I know that traffic is hard to count. Especially for a private company. But if you have more accurate data, then publish it.

🚨 Cursor CEO response to OpenAI: >OpenAI models = 5% of Cursor traffic >translation: we don’t need you >“we’ve trusted [OpenAI] platform to be neutral infrastructure” >translation: OpenAI just proved they’re not neutral It’s OVER
