According to Google trends data:

Facebook and especially Twitter are on a downward spiral:

While at the opposite end,
ReturnofKings, Instagram and Reddit are on a constant rise
in popularity:

What do you guys think of this?

The collapse of Twitter looks just like 2009 when it was
the beginning of the end for MySpace:

I wouldn't read too much into it. It could also mean something else, such as increased mobile app use, which in turn reflects in less people searching 'facebook' in google to get to the site.

I'd follow the advertisers. They're still heavily into Facebook, because Facedrones tell Zuckerberg and his customers everything about themselves.

Facebook apps are the some of the worst, lowest rated apps in both Play Store and AppStore, with on average 2 stars out of 5.

Instagram is mostly a mobile app, a competitor of Google,

but still trends Google data shows that Instagram is growing,
while Twitter and Facebook are falling

Too good to be true. I don't see any signs of this cancer going into remission.

There is a viral YouTube video made by Veritasium,

which proves that Facebook is actually defrauding its advertisers:

Facebook owns Instagram.

Of course you want to portray your competition in the worst light possible.

Post: #9

the Google trends data ca be seen as a comparison.

Returnofkings is on a great uptrend, we can see that. Instagram and Reddit also have increased the number of users in the recent period,
this is a reality that can be checked in various ways.

The New York Stock Exchange, on the other hand, shows that everyone is moving away from Twitter:

The TWTR shares are down to ~ $ 15 only , from their 2014 maximum value of $ 69

Facebook owns Instagram.

And Google trends shows a constant increase in Instagram.

So it's not a bias in this case.

You always need plausible deniability.

If I can't see how fat women I used to know in high school have gotten or laugh at ugly babies from people I don't talk to anymore, then Twitter is fucked.

Facebook is good for a laugh every now and again, no more than a 5 minute scan to see what's going on with the herd today.

When you got a misandric Toronto feministe like Anita Sarkeesian in a high position at Twitter, what would one expect? Feminism and capitalism don't mix.

If this is true the guys at Google are shitting their pants in excitement.

More confirmation from CNN as well:

Twitter is losing customers and its stock is falling

It's hard for the small core of Twitter addicts to accept, but Twitter just isn't popular enough to be successful. In fact, Twitter is losing customers.

The social media company reported Wednesday that it lost 2 million users in the last three months

Even Instagram surpassed Twitter

yeah - logged onto Facebook to post a few positive things about Brexit, and do a quick scan for lefty tears. then I logged right off.

I didn't have wifi abroad outside of coffee shops, and that broke my Facebook addiction within a month and a half. one of the best things that's ever happened to me.

TWitter is a joke product and company. Just go onto LinkedIn and look at their Directors -> Vice Presidents. These are mid-20s people who should be sales associates at tech startups and were never part of the founding team.

Looks like Mike Cernovich is going to have to enjoy blasting cucks on Twitter while he still can.

Mike Cernovich has a pretty awesome Twitter feed

That is interesting.. If you search with spaces:
http://www.google.com/trends/explore#q=r...of%20kings
you get a different result, and with an enormous spike when the meeting thing hit the press, to when you search without spaces:
http://www.google.com/trends/explore#q=returnofkings

The one without the spaces is showing 100% of the traffic coming from the USA, whereas the one with has many countries, Taiwan, Phillipines, South Korea, Australia, Canada, Malaysia, Thailand, USA in that order.

Anyway, no European country makes it onto either of the lists! I suppose that just says we don't need to search for it, but the origin of the traffic in the website is probably something different..

It is becoming very well known that both Facebook and Twitter are censoring conservatives. And while conservatives may not be the majority of their users, they are a large minority. When you start losing traffic from that many people, it hurts. The loss of the multiplier effect makes it hurt even more.

Yes, exactly.

Twitter maintains a ‘whitelist’ of favoured Twitter accounts and a ‘blacklist’ of unfavoured accounts. Accounts on the whitelist are prioritised in search results, even if they’re not the most popular among users. Meanwhile, accounts on the blacklist have their posts hidden from both search results and other users’ timelines.

Our source was backed up by a senior editor at a major digital publisher, who told Breitbart that Twitter told him it deliberately whitelists and blacklists users.

Shadowbanning, sometimes known as “Stealth Banning” or “Hell Banning,” is commonly used by online community managers to block content posted by spammers. Instead of banning a user directly (which would alert the spammer to their status, prompting them to create a new account), their content is merely hidden from public view.

For site owners, the ideal shadowban is when a user never realizes he’s been shadowbanned.

However, Twitter isn’t merely targeting spammers. For weeks, users have been reporting that tweets from populist conservatives, members of the alternative right, cultural libertarians, and other anti-PC dissidents have disappeared from their timelines.
