The main source of traffic to my blog still comes from search engines, mainly Google and Bing. I don’t focus on social media traffic because it’s not very stable.
What's your main traffic source for a blog now?

Google remains, technically, the single largest traffic source for most sites, owing simply to its sheer search volume, particularly for queries tied to purchasing intent.

mainly use google discover and pinterest for traffic since organic searches is too inconsistent because of the core updates and such stuff.
the most traffic i get is from google but i have noticed increased traffic coming in from the social webssites. the surprising thing about this was that the traffic from well written articles in the correct forums was higher than that from my normal social posttings.

For me Google is still useful, but I think having different traffic sources is more beneficial at the moment. Social media can give a good spike and Pinterest, Reddit can keep giving you traffic. I would rather have multiple smaller sources than just Google for everything.

Google still brings most of my traffic, but I’ve been getting some decent visitors from social platforms too. Reddit can be pretty good when you find the right audience.

Big source of traffic is still Google, but Reddit and Pinterest are worth trying too. I think it depends a lot on the topic.

I agree with Reddit and Google but i struggled with Pinterest, never really getting much traffic. What do you do to make pinterest work for you?
Prefer making paid ads to promote website for traffic’s in low keyword niches to achieve residual traffics. Methods are available to promote website content including comments on related questions and post on social media apps to generate more engagements on update post shared on profile posts.
Google is definitely less reliable now. For my sites, Pinterest is still the biggest driver if you stay consistent with fresh pins. But honestly, the main goal now is capturing those visitors into an email list so you aren't completely dependent on any algorithm.

I have website traffic coming through SEO and social media promotion. I do not want to rely on a single source anymore.

I am experimenting with social media traffic these days and so far the results had been very good. My suggestion is to go for smaller social media websites instead of big whales like reddit. There is lot of bans on reddit.
