The most dramatic collapse was Tumblr after 2018. Most of their users migrated to Tik-tok, Pinterest, and Instagram.

[@felixrbx]

Crazy to think of when some of these social medias are populärer so long, while others didn’t even exist

[@rizchannel1402]

IG, TikTok, WA were so epic on the last 30 seconds

[@Kbxbigbro808]

Mean while Twitter was like am out 🤣

How is facebook still steadily growing?

[@IchigoKurosakicool]

[@caab0516]

@@IchigoKurosakicool idk, it has been seemingly dead for the last 5 years, at least thats what I thought... I guess a lot of older people still use it?

[@Nintendokater]

Probably

[@Vorrimade]

probably cause many mobile games still require Facebook sign-ins for things

[@13thravenpurple94]

i think on poor and middle income countries facebook is dominating

[@V3ntilator]

In 1991 i remember IRC dominated social media on internet. Would be more interesting if it were social media from 1990 until now.

[@dom-romer663]

Watching Google+ plummet was very satisfying lol

[@tictac3147]

I thought Google+ deleted itself. Pretty sure that’s why it plummeted
