The original article presented two graphs: one of MariaDB searches (which are increasing) and the other showing MySQL searches (decreasing or leveling out). It turns out that the y axis REALLY matters.
I honestly expected better….
@mariadb that Trends graph is misleading. Steady over 12months, flattening from peak 12+y ago, well before MariaDB. pic.twitter.com/sP6H65FEvR

Try “Will @mariadb ever replace @postgresql “. At current rate, equal on Google Trends in 12-20 years if no pg growth. pic.twitter.com/6BP9FuU1RU
