What Happened on the Internet Every Minute in 2021

Here is a short recap for you to reminisce over 2021 with Gosschips before setting the pace for 2022!

This Needs to be Shared ASAP!!

There are 525600 minutes in a year and billions of people on the internet at any given minute and something was bound to happen with so many people in one place. Did you know that the number of internet users rose to 5.2 billion in 2021?

Hope the Challenges Impressed Everyone!

How many photos do you share in a day? Data says that people shared precisely 2 million photos on Snapchat, 240k on Facebook, 65k on Instagram.

Let’s Binge Under the Radar!

There were 44 million lives on Facebook, 167 million videos watched on Tik Tok, 452k hours were spent on Netflix, and 694k hours on YouTube. The most surprising fact is that these data don’t include the hours you spent watching pirated movies online!

Why Did You Leave Me on ‘Read’? 

Did someone leave you on a blue tick last year? Well, you definitely can’t be the only one on the list because there were 668k messages sent via Discord, 148k through Slack, and 12 million via Apple in 2021.

I Am Not a Shopaholic!

The pandemic made online shopping a routine and people fell into the habit, you don’t have to blame yourself for buying all those necessarily unnecessary stuff off the internet. The world spent $67k on Instacart and $283k on Amazon. Data shows that 6 million people are shopping online this very minute. You can bet at least a few thousands of them are shopaholics.

Do you now understand why a viral video or photo goes out of trend in a matter of days?
