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.

What jumped out the most for you?
