    This isn’t really telling us much.

    For instance, if we compare FB and Reddit.

    Facebook is a social media platform that doesn’t offer anything other than connecting people and groups, or for business pages and events. It’s not useful for external searches to take you there because it tries to force you to logon or get the app every time to view anything, and the search function absolutely sucks. I’d imagine most searches for “facebook” are people putting the term in google search to reach the platform or searching google to see if a person or business is on facebook. The search term is going to decline because most everyone that uses FB is already on it and FB is mostly pointless to search.

    Reddit is a collection of subs , some of wich contain desirable information. It can be tech help, mechanical help, memes, history information, etc. So people absolutely search reddit + (thing they are hoping to find).

    Iow, it’s a measure of usefulness via search, not popularity or user numbers. The more restrictive to search, the less people will look for it.

      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.

      The app that pings you at a random point in the day to show what you are “really doing with life”

    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?”

      No 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?

    Reddit is on the decline. We need more people to join the 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 Snapchat decided the redesign their entire app and then I stopped using it entirely for the rest of my life lol.
