Talk:Toxic positivity

Why are the social media links listed in the order they are? Shouldn't FB and IG be above LinkedIn? Should LI even be included? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 136.62.241.174 (talk) 08:36, 18 January 2023 (UTC)

Google Trends graph
It would be better to describe any 2019 rise in popularity from available sources which have written about that, than to present a graph for the reader to decode. What does the Y axis mean? Are we making a clear claim that the term existed around 2005, then almost went away, and later came back six times as prominently? And are we sure that the phrase wasn't being used in other (perhaps pandemic-related) contexts?

Citing a written source would put us on more solid ground for the term's recent history, and perhaps even give some context into where its rise came from. Belbury (talk) 18:23, 17 May 2023 (UTC)


 * I think the general import of Google Trends is virtually common knowledge and doesn't require readers to "decode". Here, precise analytical conclusions aren't necessary for every twitch of a graph's trace. Regardless, in the next few days I'll look for a reference that mentions the recency of Toxic Positivity's ascendency: note the dates of references in this article that mention this particular term. — RCraig09 (talk) 19:11, 17 May 2023 (UTC)
