Title.
This still makes no sense to me.
Yup, people are that fucking stupid.
Have people never heard of bookmarks?
This data doesn’t show how many people click on the 2nd, 3rd etc. results instead of the first.
A bunch of people append “site:reddit.com” or just “reddit” to searches to avoid SEO bullshit, which might cause false positives in the trends graph.
Those graphs are scaled so the largest result is always at 100 - so you can’t really tell how many people are doing this sort of thing from this graph. It could be dozens or millions. Having your search country set to only South Africa also seems pretty non-representative.
