In fact that seems to be the trend for all tutorials: http://www.google.com/trends/?q=tutorials

What's going on? Are people resorting less and less on tutorials? Are the "tutorial" sites that show up on Google so spammy that people do not bother to search for "tutorials" anymore?

My guess is people stopped publishing amateur tutorials and focused on spending time on facebook. Lots of beginner creativity got flushed down the facebook. When I learned HTML or PHP long time ago everybody's first ambition was to get good enough to write his own tutorial.

Flash tutorials.
