I don't know what I would do without youtube. I can't spend any of my limited funds on a streaming service anymore and over the air television is pretty weak.

If I had to pay for my own streaming I might use YouTube. I havent owned a tv in about seven years now, so I dont follow live tv unless it becomes immediately available online.

I don't know what qualifies as "using Youtube", but I really only use it for watching trailers or random things people have linked to me. I don't subscribe to anyone or actually like go to the site ever.

Skimming over it, I couldnt find out what using meant either, but Im confident I dont meet the criteria, whatever it is.

I can't seem to find a reference for the usage rates within that age bracket. Is it a matter of using it once per month or once per day for that age group?

i said earlier I couldn't find the exact question asked for any age range, not just the youngest. But regardless, I know I don't use it.

I do, but I don't fall into the 18-24 demo. I'm in the 30-49 demo where apparently 87% of the demo use it.

I have literally never used Facebook, though. Or Twitter. Or any of the other social media sites they list in that article. Apparently I'm not the "median" American because I only use 1 out of 8 instead of 3 out of 8.

The real problem isn't whether or not statistics are made up, it's that even when statistics are 100% factually accurate, the vast majority of people have no idea what statistics mean or how to interpret them anyway. So they become less of a tool of science and more a tool of rhetoric.

I'm literally watching it while I type this. It's about 99% of everything I "watch" these days. I've more or less stopped watching TV entirely.

I generally watch more longform stuff, though, and I usually watch it while multitasking (doing other things online like I'm doing right now, while playing games like Minecraft, etc).

Oh, one other statistic in there that's kind of amusing - I'm apparently one of only 14% of people 30-49 who use Reddit. Which is likely weighted more heavily to the lower end of that scale, so I'm a blatant anomaly. So I can be the token old dude on Reddit just like I'm the token old dude here. Whee!

I've used all of them except Whatsapp and Snapchat. Reddit I've barely ever touched, though, and Pinterest I binge maybe several times a year. And I don't really actively use anything except YT, although I'm trying to get into IG. Not sure how that might count.

You mean people can LIE with statistics?! Man, somebody should write a book about that! =p

I didnt expect reddit to be so low. At least half of my friends use reddit, and I always see people browsing before class or on the bus, but only 20~% of people in my age group use it, apparently.

What does using Reddit mean I wonder. I lurk sometimes but I dont have an account. As a matter of fact, Ive started to watch videos on YouTube of interesting AskReddit posts lol

I'm assuming "user" implies having an account.

Though if just occasionally browsing without an account and without any real site functionality counts for usage, then that technically ups my count to 2 out of the major 8 because I've read Twitter posts before.

But I feel like maybe reading a few dozen Tweets over the last 5 years stemming from only about a dozen or so accounts, and never using hashtags or trending BS doesn't really feel like being a "user".

Only thing I use youtube for is any tutorials I may need (such as for the statistics class I'm in right now) or the kid's videos my daughter loves.

I don't use reddit or twitter. I check my Facebook once a day unless I get a notification/alert. There's nothing interesting on Facebook really. It's turning into Myspace 2.0
