We can check from another perspective. Apparently the whole internet is around 70 TWh/year from datacenters alone in 2016 (link to actual study is broke): https

Apparently the whole internet is around 70 TWh/year from datacenters alone in 2016 (link to actual study is broke): https://www.forbes.com/sites/christopherhelman/2016/06/28/how-much-electricity-does-it-take-to-run-the-internet/ https://www.forbes.com/sites/christopherhelman/2016/06/28/ho... Reddit is apparently the 3rd most popular website: https://old.reddit.com/r/technology/comments/8n959q/reddit_just_passed_facebook_as_3_most_popular/ https://old.reddit.com/r/technology/comments/8n959q/reddit_j... No idea where this info comes from but it gives 1.8 TWh/yr for (the now fourth most popular site) facebook in 2016: https://www.statista.com/statistics/580087/energy-use-of-facebook/ https://www.statista.com/statistics/580087/energy-use-of-fac... Does it make sense for total reddit usage to be ~3.5 TWh/year in 2018? It seems to be in the right ballpark, but who knows how circular these calculations are.
