Almost too obvious to say, but: Web traffic has been declining because it's been shifting to mobile apps.

Are there any numbers for that or is it just a assumption? Do we know API access doesn't count as web access in the numbers above? Facebook is begging people to download the app for a few years now, I am not to sure if we can still expect people adapting to this degree.
It's weird to think that a couple of years ago I too was using the facebook app. Since then, I've deleted the app, then deleted my account, switched from stock android to LineageOS.
Now I can't fathom how I accepted to carry that crap around with me, and sometimes forget that just because I don't use it, social media hasn't vanished from the world. I feel as if I was living in a post-social media era, because in my subconscious, social media is dead.
