“All things must pass… except perhaps Reddit.” @[email protected] https://vis.social/users/infobeautiful/statuses/113986535718924599
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
Makes me wonder if the pinterest numbers are from queries with “-pinterest”.
Probably yeah
dafuq is bereal?
during covid people used that, you got notification and need to take a pic of yourself and what you are doing at the moment (not from phine gallery) it was meant to show how staged instagram with everyone living their best life. it was a good idea but people stopped using that once the hype went down
It’s kind of like Instagram, but it picks a random moment during the day for you to take a picture. ( When you’re awake normally ).
When the app goes off you have 1 minute to take a picture. If you miss it you can’t post a picture anymore.
It’s a bit of a reaction against the perfect pictures you see everywhere and people having amazing lives all the time. You’ll see pictures in your feed from friends/family just chilling in front of tv. Sometimes it’ll be nice timing ( oh wow! Just when we’re at <beautiful place> and other times it’ll be when you’re having a movie night with your SO.
I say friends/family because AFAIK you need to be friends with somebody to able to see their posts.
It’s like cereal, but made out of bees. It’s stingingly delicious!
Is that what those dogs that shoot bees from their mouths eat for breakfast?
Does it come in a gluten free variety?
It took me way to long to realise that bereal probably doesn’t rhyme with cereal.
The app that pings you at a random point in the day to show what you are “really doing with life”
Lemmy: ___________^------
What happened in 2015? Why are there so many Finns?
Especially when it should be considered that Finland might not exist.
Damn. So the real Lemmy generates essentially zero search traffic. Sad!
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?”
Depending on how these are calculated, I do use
$searchterm -inurl:pinteresta lot, when using googleNo idea how, but it seems to be capturing the youth market, at least amongst my kids’ peers. Maybe as an alternative to tiktok/YT as those are more likely to be blocked/restricted by parents?
You can see when Reddit became mostly bots!
Fediverse:
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.
You can see when they banned porn on Tumblr.
Reddit is on the decline. We need more people to join the Fediverse.
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.
The graphs are relative to each medium. You can’t directly compare the popularity of different apps from this image.
Edit: Here you can compare them to each other yourself:
https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=all&q=Pinterest,Tiktok&hl=en
You can see that 100% of one app in this post doesn’t equal 100% of another app.
That’s not what I mean. Even discarding any scale factor, Pinterest’s popularity curve looks remarkably unique. It’s basically the heaviside step function.
You can see when Snapchat decided the redesign their entire app and then I stopped using it entirely for the rest of my life lol.
Who tf is googling linkedin or pinterest
Ugh… Also, was there ever actual “hype” for linkedin?
damn, google+ wasn’t even mentioned
Nah, fuck Reddit.
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
