Up to December 2019. As you can see, the game really hit its peak in 2013-2015 (as Slava Makarov said in the previous post), and the following spikes in popularity were caused by the Christmas events. The last one should mark the fact that the playerbase is pretty stable, not having decreased so much since last year.

Last Google Trends post (3 years old)
I think fewer people use Google to search for games
of course its more stable now…90% of F2P players already left
wot is dying
No. WoT is dead already. It died shortly after 2015.
“Wot is dying” – i hear this kinda stupid since day ONE……… “oh the patch 0.7 ruined the game!!! its dead within a month!!!
*facepalm* so much stupid.
Anyhow.
Yes, not that many people look up world of tanks on google…. so what?
Do you realize many of those search requests are for MODS FOR THE GAME?
Something you can find WITHOUT SEARCH… by going to the MOD HUB?
World of Warships, for example, you can FIND ON STEAM.. – boom, more traffic gone.
Saying “search requests” and “success” are tied together is beyond stupid.

Here is the data for PEWDIEPIE … oh gosh- this guy must be broke, right?
No. He is not. He still got MILLIONS MORE than any of us can ever hope to dream.
I kinda agree, but the game is still a niche, but there are people who just want to play with tanks a little. There are just not many competitors who are kinda relevant. Especially when you just want a casual game.
followed link you supplied changed it to Worldwide (not United States
Interest trend is late 2019 its shows > 20% average interest compared to year 2015
that means my friend that 80% of WOT player base have lost interest in the game since 2015
or
World of Tanks Worldwide has lost 80% of its active players since 2015
Wargame as a Company
they are a Stubborn ,mostly Eyes shut with heads in the sand, sadly at times lying over and over
So now today 2019, just 20% remains of the player population WOT once enjoyed this seems about right
What does this tell us? Nothing we don’t already know. It’s a dying game and the gangsterism behind it just want to milk as much money of it as possible.
im f2p player, never bought a thing, everything connected to wot is bookmarked and i never google it
Talked with my Clan mates Discord today (27 players in total this afternoon
Most not like game much compared to other Games, why?
Match Making – – over power (really so suprise) most HATE (a lot) that Tier 8 gets Tier 10 at all!
Match Making – – Teams Players in Teams, are hopelessly un-balanced Team poor players v Team Good players (turbo 12 – 3 game losses all in 4 mins REALLY piss them off a lot
Maps – – Corridor and Corridor then more Corridor, most with little usable (safe sort off) cover if any
Maps – – bad to poor design in General (with numerous annoying Bugs each and every update
Maps – – never get more than 7 or 8 different Maps n any weekend day (Map server set to Wargame fav €€€ Maps by default?
Maps – – Small and with up to 50% wasted space Mountains, seas or 50% open spaces death areas
Wargame – – Promises broken, broken, so many Lies this over and over
Wargame – – Un trustworthy cannot count on WG for most anything
Wargame – – far to many Premium Tier 8 spam (for easy quick €€
these were the most frequent criticism’s from my Clan mates on Discord
Again more talk with my Clan and other Clans have Friends in, on Discord this afternoon
