Makes me wonder if the pinterest numbers are from queries with "-pinterest".

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 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!

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”

What happened in 2015? Why are there so many Finns?

Depending on how these are calculated, I do use $searchterm -inurl:pinterest a lot, when using google

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?

or looking through pinetrest to identfy a plant, object they couldnt do it on a google search, ive done that when trying to identify a plant species, or a cultivar.

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:

You can see that 100% of one app in this post doesn't equal 100% of another app.

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.

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

Third column second row

It's easy to miss because its hype was only 10 seconds long.

"Vine app" is right there

Honestly most of the time I've watched over someone's shoulder while they go to a website, I've watched them google the site (sometimes including .com) and then click on the top result. URLs are just asking too much of people ig

It does have Tumblr though. Would be interesting to see them overlaid too. Many of them would be probably be tiny blips
