Just like Saved By The Bell was great for four seasons in 1989, it didn't mean it would come back and be a success in 2020.

John Mueller of Google said on Twitter "Just because a site is ranking well now does not mean it will continue ranking well forever - changes are common. I'd take a step back and consider how your site might fit in."
