There are several things we can speculate about at all future inaugurals.
First, the filling in will be slower because of increased security. This will be even more true as social media allow protest people to coordinate better.
Second, to compare photos we need comparable timestamps so that we know genuinely comparable times.
Third, you can see on the gigapixel picture that many in the audience were staring at their cell phones, so they were really as much in cyberspace as in a chair in the audience. So the actual meaning of "attending" is changing.
And what does any of it mean anyhow now that we know almost all the 2016 polls were wrong?
Most of the 2017 polls showing Trump's popularity waning were from very small samples -- less than 1000 people.
Those people were merely adults, not registered or likely voters, and they were people who answered on landlines.
Who answers a landline poll?
