The conclusion the author makes ("With hooks, it’s now simpler to learn React; because of this, its use in the tech world today has grown") is pretty garbage though, could be any reason popularity of the search term has increased. That it's because it's easier to learn feels pretty far down the list of possible reasons. The rate of the increase for React in that graph is pretty constant, and I see nothing that gives the impression that the introduction of Hooks (February 06, 2019) accelerated the increase. But yeah, harsh words by akdor1154 maybe but I agree with the sentiment in general.
