If you didn’t know, today is Social Media Day. Which is a day to celebrate all of the “amazing things” that social media has brought upon us.
“Social Media Day” was originally created in 2010 by Mashable to recognize social media’s impact on bringing the world together. But ironically, a lot of the companies it was celebrating at the time have since gone extinct. MySpace, Friendster, and Vine all bit the dust.
Here are some other fun facts about social media:
1. The average person spends 141 minutes a day on social media.
2. Over 5.4 billion people used social media in 2025.
3. 84% of Americans say they’ve used YouTube . . . 71% of Americans have used Facebook . . . and 50% have used Instagram. (Statista / Pew Research)
