You're over-estimating how many people actually "surf" the net. I'd wager most of HN knows Yandex, but you're average, non-tech industry, person in NA has essentially no need or situation when they would run into Yandex (aside from streaming, even then they probably aren't explicitly going to the yandex url). You would see the same case for a Chinese search engine.
People in general spend a remarkable amount of time visiting the same 3-4 websites over and over and some apps.

- angra_mainyu 3y agoYep, and surprisingly good too (I use it daily).
- kristiandupont 3y agoWhat are those searches? I am curious because I've used reverse image search 3-4 times in my life. It's just not something I think of..
- charcircuit 3y agoThe most normal use case is finding the original, higher resolution version of an image.
- EasyMark 3y agothis is 90% of what I use it for as well. Sometimes I'll use it to track down a meme image as well
