Pretty insane how slow and steady reddit’s rise has been, when most other social media platforms usually ascend dramatically and quickly.
Twitter’s turnaround has also been impressive (Trump effect?).
Myspace Tom still everyone’s “first friend” though <3.

N.B.: The Y-axes are not comparable. The charts are trying to show when had its peak “popularity” or “buzz” — it’s not trying to show which was the most popular. If you plot them all on the same axis then FB just absolutely dominates and you lose alot of detail.
