RationalWiki tripled its organic traffic from 2017 to late 2019 in a big way and then something happened to cause a massive decrease in organic traffic in November 2019 (See. When you look at [https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=all&geo=US&q=RationalWiki Google trends for RationalWiki] from 2017 to November 2020, you will notice that Google searches for the keyword RationalWiki bounced between the range of 50-75 on the Google trends relative scale (not the number of actual searches) which presumably was due to websites with large amounts of web traffic mentioning RationalWiki periodically during that time. Starting in May of 2021, Google searches for RationalWiki have bounced between the range of 25 to 50 searches a month on the Google trends relative scale.

The data does change from a less Snarky point of view to a more Scientific Point of View made a big improvement in RationalWiki's brand awareness. RationalWiki's brand awareness stayed about the same from 2017 to November 2020 even though its organic traffic tripled during some of this time period. And then something happened around May 2021 or so that caused RationalWiki's brand awareness to go down.
