Have people never heard of bookmarks?

Because I don’t clutter my neatly organised folders for things I use once in a while. And if auto complete doesn’t finish, googling and selecting the first non ad site is a safe bet when u don’t know the full address.

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.

It’s this. I’ll do search terms and append “reddit” or “youtube” if the current list doesn’t get me what I need. I’ll do “site:” if it’s really fucking stubborn.

Yeah, that’s what I suspect is happening here

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.

Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it’s too interesting, it doesn’t belong. If it’s not interesting, it doesn’t belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh… what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don’t spam.
