What the hell happened in the second half of 2020?
George Floyd was murdered on May 25. COVID was ravaging the world. The presidential election cycle was in full swing. And I’m sure much more.
Hello fellow Gboard user. I would have also noticed “abs” in place of “and”.
Covid.
That was my immediate guess, but Covid blew up in March, and the Reddit graph doesn’t go crazy until a few months later. It is hard to see what else could possibly explain it though; I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s just an error in the axis labelling or something.
George Floyd was the end of May, then the protests and the election over the summer.
US election spam
I would guess bot activity related to covid or any other american political thing
Bored people from the Coronavirus + US Election, if I were to hazard a guess?
