By chance I noticed that on Google Trends the “Om System” searches are spiking. Same is happening for the term “Micro Four Thirds”:

And this is an extremely surprising event, considering that over the past five years the trend has remained largely constant.

I found that searches for the OM-1 cameras increased particularly in Asian countries:

This is extremely unusual, maybe the camera did go viral for some reason. Let me know in the comment system if you know more about this!

Petapixel listed the 8 MFT myths:

• The Resolution Myth – High-MP full-frame bodies like the Sony A7R IV don’t always outperform Micro Four Thirds. Advanced features such as focus bracketing and stacking often produce more usable detail for macro photographers.
• The Lens Quality Myth – The OM System M.Zuiko 90mm F3.5 Macro IS PRO is described as one of the sharpest lenses the ambassadors have ever used, offering 2× (4× equivalent) macro with outstanding optical quality.
• The Professional Conditions Myth – Full-frame bodies such as the Canon EOS R and Nikon Z7 II were often left behind because of their weight. Lighter OM gear made it easier to shoot in harsh environments.
• The Low-Light Myth – Modern sensors and IBIS in cameras like the OM System OM-1 allow handheld 1–2 second exposures, keeping ISO low even without the heavy full-frame systems.
• The Speed & Print Myth – Features such as Pro Capture and Handheld High-Res on the OM System OM-1 produce ~50MP files suitable for large prints up to 40×60 inches.
• The Bokeh Myth – Lenses like the Olympus 40–150mm F2.8 PRO and OM System 300mm F4 IS PRO give smoother backgrounds while keeping more of small subjects in focus—ideal for frogs, insects, and birds.
• The Landscape Tripod Myth – With extreme IBIS and Handheld Hi-Res in the OM System OM-1 Mark II, landscape photographers can capture sharp high-resolution images without carrying bulky tripods.
• The Computational Gimmick Myth – Tools like Live ND, Live Composite, Live GND, and Starry Sky AF — available on cameras such as the OM System OM-5 — replace many physical filters and streamline long-exposure workflows.
