They both sound a bit odd.
There are a few ways to make it sound more natural.
“His article didn’t show up on Yahoo because he isn’t as popular anymore.”
“Since he isn’t as popular as before, news about his concert didn’t show up on Yahoo.”
“His article wasn’t on Yahoo because he isn’t as famous as he used to be.”

@Valerie__P Thank you.
Not either one - "didn’t appear/come up to me" and "less popular compared to the past" but both of them are unnatural, am I correct?
