A minute on the internet in 2024
A minute on the internet in 2024
As they’ve done for 12 years now (and we discussed last year), the folks at Domo have created a fascinating infographic that shows just how much time people are spending online. Their full write-up is here, and the main image can be seen below:
Some things that I noticed, that happen every minute of every day:
Netflix users stream 362,962 hours of content. That’s over 190 trillion hours of content watched per year or over 21 million years of content. Wow!
Google’s Gemini receives 8,574 visitors per minute, which seems high until you compare it to Google Search (with 5.9M visitors) or even LinkedIn (with 9,000 job applications per minute).
One of the biggest numbers was 138.9M Reels played on Facebook and Instagram every minute — that’s over 73 trillion views per year.
The other one that jumped out was that people stream video of other people playing Fortnite at a clip of 1,563 hours per minute, or more than a trillion hours per year. I knew that game streaming platforms like Twitch were popular, but that was a shockingly large number.
I encourage you to check out the full article on the Domo site for more.
