Happy Anniversary GP!
I was curious how GP usage has changed over the years. I was able to estimate it by finding posts on or close to Dec 1 each year in order to get the post numbers from the urls and make some graphs.

Wow! Over 1.5 million posts!!! Looks like GP grew nicely over the first 5 years and then stabilized at about 200 thousand posts per year over the last 5 years. Pretty incredible! I thought there'd be more of a spike during the pandemic. It was the highest year, but not by much.
