      it’s only that high because 2020 is when search engines became visibly enshittified even to normies and people started specifically looking for human written things

    Are you telling me that I live in a world where LINKEDIN AND PINTEREST are the most successful SOCIAL MEDIA sites?

    Edit, missed the “relative” part, so most consistent sites? Still weird.

      Linkedin serves a professional purpose so I can see why it’d be the most consistently searched. Like even if people don’t actively use it, at least part its purpose is for hiring managers to be able to search a person and have their professional persona pop up. It’s the most accessible way to find a version of a person online that’s not restricted or under a pseudonym.

      That being said, people that actively use it for anything other than keeping their resume up to date or job search/hiring are usually nutjobs.

      Pinterest is somehow getting traction with the kids, I have no idea how or why but they’re all on it. I honestly thought it died along with the likes of Flickr.

    how did pinterest so suddenly become popular? I remember the first time I encountered pinterest, and then I encountered it regularly from then on, just in random google image searches.

    Reddit is on the decline. We need more people to join the Fediverse.

    Is pinterest getting more popular or is it that people have spent the last couple years searching for “who uses pinterest” or “how to remove pinterest from search results?”

    The most recent reddit spike is definitely just people adding the word to google searches to make the search actually useful instead of SEO slop
