That's not what I said, is it? I was talking specifically about the more recent spike in popularity.
Edit: Not sure why I'm being down voted for pointing out what I said. I very specifically was talking about the spike in popularity around 2016. I'm not talking about the topic being popular before that, because there is a specific difference in the two time frames, where interest in the topic reached a fever pitch. And yes, it is 'slowing down' compared to said fever pitch ~2016. But 'slowing down' mostly means returning to baseline.
