- FinnKuhn 4mo agoThat's fair as the Kaggle dataset[1] is from 2017. Even assuming orders scaled with revenue (which grew to $1.5B in 2020[2]), you'd only reach a few hundred orders/minute at the pandemic peak (which lines up with the calculation above via a different method). So I still assume the original comment isn't referring to actual orders placed.
