From RVs and reptiles to antique appraisals and etiquette, popular Q+A site’s 3.1M questions in
2021 reveal what we worried about most this year
SAN FRANCISCO (Dec. 29th, 2021) JustAnswer, the leading online platform connecting people
with doctors, lawyers, veterinarians, mechanics and other experts for real-time professional help,
today unveiled 2021’s top trending topics according to number of questions per topic received
on the site this year.
Homeopathy, Etiquette, Antique Appraisals, Financial Software and Dream Interpretation wereamong the topics that saw the biggest year-over-year growth on JustAnswer this year according
to an analysis of more than 3.1 million questions fielded by experts between January 1st, 2021
and December 20, 2021. In addition, according to the JustAnswer 2021 Year in Review Curiosity
Report, people were especially curious about Bird Health (+48%), Reptile Behavior (+17%),
Smartphones (+169%) and Office Equipment (+96%).
Some of the more interesting highlights from the data:•Etiquette questions surged 65% and Wedding questions rose 30%
With social gatherings picking back up post-vaccine, especially around the holidays, people hadmany questions about navigating the new social terrain as we “got back out there.” Similarly,
people got back to planning in-person nuptials in 2021, stimulating a new array of questions
related to wedding planning and logistics in 2021.
• Dream interpretation questions rose 19%
In a year of continued uncertainty, more people seem to turn to expert sources for helptranslating their unconscious thoughts into daily life meaning.
• Homeopathy questions increased 108% – but so did Pharmacy questions (+48%)
2021 found people more interested than ever in natural health and wellness remedies per theincrease in homeopathy on JustAnswer. However, questions about traditional drugs andmedications also rose 48%.
• Laptops (+56%), Smartphones (+169%) & Financial Software (+175%) gained steam –but Gaming System questions dropped 32%
Remote work remained the reality for a huge number of us in 2021, and the number ofquestions related to work-oriented technology on JustAnswer reflected this reality. At the sametime, it seems that increased in-person socializing post-vaccine could be dimming the impulse
to retreat into a dark bedroom for video games.
• Homework help questions fell 22%
As schools opened back up for in-person learning, students (and parents) were less apt to seek
help from online experts with class assignments or tricky math problems.
• Boats questions declined 16% – but RV questions grew by 27%
People still took to the outdoors for Covid-safe forms of recreation last year, but it seems RVsmaintained and grew in popularity, while boating lost its luster.
• Firearms questions declined 39%
While statistics show that handgun sales rose during the early days of shelter-in-place and during
the 2020 rioting, JustAnswer saw a decline in questions for its firearms experts this year.
