That could be true, but do you have some numbers? Wikimedia wikis are in the order of a few hundreds edits per minute, around a thousand and sometimes more. htt

  To add the Reddit figures to the discussion. There are something like ~2,100-2,200 comments posted to Reddit per minute on average across a year at this point (around or slightly over three million comments per day). That's not the peak minute figure of course, which is no doubt several times higher.

    So it's actually comparable I'd say, in terms of frequency. In terms of how much "writing" this actually means, it varies: an edit to a large article, even if it's just a comma, requires several seconds of parsing to produce the wikitext, a lot of events propagated in various places etc.
