What this looks consistent with -- given that the vertical axis is a

habitué).
Yes, Reddit just grew up and broadened its topics.
If so, that means that the growth in 'racket', and more so with the more
predictable growth in 'swift', is all the more impressive.
Well there is also a singer named Taylor Swift which IMHO would explain
this growth. :-)

And as much as I like Racket (the programming language), I'm pretty sure
there is a similar explanation for the word "racket" (e.g. the sport
equipment, the fraudulent scheme, ...)
