XKCD in decline
- java-man 8y agoor perhaps more and more people use adblocks?
- pathartl 8y agoI don't think it's that. I can only speak from my experience, but it seems like web comics have been replaced more by memes and I see a lot less of them, especially XKCD.
- gmuslera 8y agoThe comic #2094 could be based on that graph.
- KindOne 8y agoThat comic does not exist?
- magneticnorth 8y ago... tomorrow's comic? Hi, Randall?
- newen 8y agoSquiggly line plots get old after a while. No narrative plot probably means, like me, people don't stick around after the novelty wears off.
- ouid 8y agoI don't see how searches for xkcd being in decline necessarily means that xkcd itself is.
- cavalcanti 8y agoExactly, most browsers nowadays will autosuggest the full domain if you give "xkcd" as input. If we use the same criteria, google itself is at its hugest decline.
- ouid 8y agoI just type x and then hit enter.
- donalhunt 8y ago"An improvement to our data collection system was applied from 1/1/16" Coincidence?? And yes... the decline started well before that!!
- HocusLocus 8y agoThat's strange... the graph directly corresponds with the rising popularity of DuckDuckGo.
