Google Promotes Apple TV Series Pluribus With Secret Search Message

by

Apple has enlisted Google to promote new Apple TV series Pluribus, with a hidden message appearing when looking up the show's name with Google search.

At the top of the search interface after typing in "pluribus," you'll see a Pluribus-themed scrolling message: "What are you searching for, Carol?"

In the series, Carol is one of the only people on earth not infected with a mind-melding virus, and humanity as a collective is determined to make her happy. Part of that effort includes constant messaging.

The first four episodes of Pluribus are available now, with the fifth episode set to be released on Tuesday, November 25, likely due to the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday in the United States.

Pluribus requires an ‌Apple TV‌ subscription to watch, with the service priced at $12.99 per month.

Wow, just a straight up spoiler right there, for a brand new show that does not even have all of its episodes out; way to go, MacRumors...
That’s all established pretty quickly in the first episode. It’s the premise of the show.

We have entered a new era of friendship and co-operation between Apple and Google, and I like it. First, Android phones get support for AirDrop. Now, Google is quietly helping promote an Apple TV show.

What's next, interoperable text messaging?!
Remember Covid-19 exposure notifications? I love living in a technocratic nightmare wherein my every thought and movement is tracked! 😍

Apple has enlisted Google
The correct term is "paid".

Show kinda sucks outside the first 2 episode
Agreed.

It’s not boring, but I’m not hooked nor looking forward to it like I was with Breaking Bad or Better Call Saul.

I think I continue to watch Pluribus cause I heard they have a huge $15,000,000 per episode budget so am curious to see what they do.
