THIS IS WHAT CHATGPT SAYS: "Over the past five years, the use of “gratitude” has surged across social media, products, and daily life, driven by societal movements focused on mindfulness and mental well-being. Platforms like Instagram and Twitter saw significant increases in gratitude-related hashtags appearing over 100 million times on Instagram alone, while products such as journals and apps have become more popular. Though specific percentages regarding the exact increase in the word’s usage are difficult to pin down, the sentiment around gratitude in everyday life has clearly risen, supported by broader societal movements towards mindfulness and mental health. For example, platforms for gratitude journaling and expressions of thanks have gained popularity, particularly among younger audiences, such as high school and college students, who reported a rise in positive affect and reduced anxiety through gratitude practices."
