Interesting point. Facebook has 2.8B active monthly users. How many does the next highest one have? TikTok has 680M which is not even a quarter of that.

- Aerroon 6y agoWhat do the numbers look like in the US though? I did some googling and found about 190M for Facebook, 80M for TikTok, and 70M for Twitter. I don't know how accurate the numbers are, because they were from pretty sketchy sources. But if the real numbers are anywhere close to that, then that does make it seem like Facebook has a fair few competitors.

- inglor_cz 6y agoAggregate spent time is probably the most interesting metric. Plus, if a service visibly dominates in some demographics (e.g. 35-50), is it a "local monopoly" in the same sense as if it dominated in a geographic region, say, the Midwest? Because if all your friends and colleagues and schoolmates use service X, you are strongly incentivized not to go to another competing service where only much younger / much older people are.
