According to Google Trends, during the past few years, there has been nothing but a few minor bumps that faded away as quickly as they came. I love RSS because i do not have to scroll through dozens of different news sites all day and i would love it to return.
EDIT: Typical case of people only reading the headline. I was asking why people are hyped over something that did NOT happen.
Who the fuck Google searches for "RSS"?
People who are looking for a good RSS client for their phone?
People hoping that it would give a web page/post with a curated list of RSS URLs.
You wouldn't include any terminology to narrow your search down? Just "RSS" seems overly broad, yeah?
please correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that this graph included any search with RSS in your search query. Otherwise it works be useless as people rarely search for something with just a single word.
I've done it.
the subset of those who do not use a proper search engine who want to know what a RSS is.
Beyond that, though, who the fuck would use Google's search popularity as a metric for the popularity of a technology. Those who use it aren't searching for it all the time. OP is dumb.
that's been a leading indicator of popularity for a long time now.
Why would that be a leading indicator? If anything those that use it are far less likely to Google it.
Search popularity is something like the first derivation (read: change in) popularity of a technology.
Calling people dumb is ableist.
Is there an alternative to saying somebody or something is dumb? Or that a choice was dumb? Genuinely asking. It just seems like it's all ableist all the way down at that point, but I've not heard of dumb being called ableist before so am interested if there's a better alternative? Short-sighted? Uninformed?
I feel like, at least in this context, it's unnecessary.
If your in a submarine and OP tries to open the external hatch while submerged, sure call him dumb. If op leaves your baby in a scorpion pit because he thought it'd make the child gain super powers, dumb.
If, however, OP thinks that Google is a valid metric to gage how popular something is. "I disagree with using this as a valid metric and here's the reasons why."
No need to call him dumb. This post didn't hurt or impact you personally. It's just the original guy who called him dumb really doesn't like google. Which is fine. Not gonna call him dumb for using duck duck go.
I agree, I don't think using Google as an indicator of trends is wrong. I was just asking about why it is ableist is all :)
