Hinge Shift

Share definition Flag
When the fundamental thing you build your life, career, or argument around quietly shifts, and suddenly everything that used to work stops working. Not just a change in direction, a change in the axis you pivot on. You didn't move the door. The hinge moved.
I spent 5 years getting great at SEO, then AI overviews hit and the traffic model collapsed overnight. That wasn't a pivot. That was a hinge shift.
