Based on Google Trends, which is the source used in the paper, Facebook is only 43% as trendy now as it was at its peak in 2012. Compared to the past, Facebook is as trendy now as it was in 2009.
The irSIR model that was predicted by the paper is about 2 years off from where we are now (the "late" model is about 1.5 years off). Repeating the study with information up to today and the new prediction is that Facebook's Google Trends measure will drop below 20% within 2 years.
