🌎 𝐒𝐨𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐌𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐚 𝐢𝐧 2023: There are 4.7billion global users (c. 60% of the population) with an average daily usage of 2.5 hours, and interestingly 46.3% are women and 53.7% are male. Facebook, Youtube, Whatsapp & Instagram are the four most used platforms. It's definitely relevant then! Thank you Luan Wise and Andy Lambert for sharing the latest updates.
