Population also larger
Discussion
Google Trends normalizes search data to make comparisons between terms easier. Search results are normalized to the time and location of a query by the following process: Each data point is divided by the total searches of the geography and time range it represents to compare relative popularity.
Perhaps, but there’s still no correlation. Meaning, that it doesn’t actually mean more people in China are searching for Nostr. Cause this accumulation of data doesn’t take into account # of people. So of course it’ll appear Nostr is more popular search word in China, but that’s only because the population in China far outnumbers population of every other country on earth. Data is skewed.
Also… Nostr not use on Nostr is huge, that alone is likely where large % of search results are from. Global supports that
*Nostr BOT use
