Please support my channel. It can buy me another cup of coffee and a lot of diapers :) - Наука
After going silent for over two years, this channel is now uploading almost every single day. I’m so happy to see that.
Same!
Sameeeeeeeee
Yeah
SAME
Who would've thought Pinterest is doing so well, biggest surprise here
Some people love to collect.
Nah, Snapchat and Instagram are the biggest mysteries.
tbh pinterest doesn't surprise me, its the fact that youtube had a bunch of accounts before 2006 started
Boomer website
Just some feedback: Would be cool if you could have the endings screen shown up for 3 to 5 seconds. As of now the clock and counts stop and immediately the outcard takes over.
@@YTSuxAxx Probably yeah, should have left my address. For that helpfull reply i will gift you a random quote from a movie in german dub (assuming you speak german of because of your username). Tony Montana: "Hättest am besten die Fresse gehalten dann hätten sie dich für'n Pferd gehalten"
@@YTSuxAxx oh please. The slide transition is less than a second long. It takes longer for the brain to register that the transition is happening. By the time you hit the pause button the transition is already over forcing you to backtrack ten seconds. It took me three tries to pause it before the transition started.
I know. Was a glitch.
Only two things I want from your videos and they are perfect:
1. I want to be more specific the numbers on top. What are refereeing to? For example, now we had weekly or monthly active users? (I know the answer from the description. Just to be more clear in the video it self)
2. At the end, a few seconds basically paused to be able to see the final picture
I'm following you for quite a long time and I'm really happy to see your return. Congratulations for your daughter!
Thank you! and noted.
Had to look up Qzone because I never heard of it. Now I see why.
lol
Same
I’m so happy you’re posting again.I love this channel
Happy to say I was on MySpace in 2006😊
Same 😢 Simpler times.
I'm glad you are back! You are the best at this!!
RUclips better than tik tok
Yeah
Fr
Yes definitely. It’s the app we’re using
Not for short content
I can't stand RUclips shorts, and that's all tiktok is. I had heard at some point that it was the number one monthly views. I guess not!
Very nice video!
you back)) glad to see)
U literally came back stronger than a 90's trend. So happy to see u
Super stoked you're back to making these videos!
More to come!
Love these! Also, never heard of QZone in my life, lol.
I love this! Would be so interesting to see one based on usage/hours spent on the social media apps.
no way! you are back!!!
using this for study right now. thanks for posting
bello, bello, bello!!! gracias :)
Each one of your videos is fascinating, informative, and mesmerizing. Thank you and congrats on being a Dad.
Thanks!
oh my you are back :o
It’s great to see you back!! I’m waiting for a superhero movies video a new version. Now with all the new movies that have came out the past 3 yrs like Spider-Man into the spiderverse and doctor strange the multiverse of madness
No way Facebook still has so many active users 😳
yeah. it's probably going by account numbers. I haven't visited it in years. That or it counts every visit, like the people who use it 50 times a day.
Boomers lol
Still a really good social media
Bots
@@GUSTA99X 🤣😂
I'm just say welcome back you upload video again, I'm really impressive your channel because video content that is proven to be accurate
Wow, thank you
OMG ! Dude I miss you ! Your videos are awesome.
Hey, thanks!
We missed your videos so much 😊😂😍😻🤩
Keep going please, nice job again 😀
That's the plan!
Good to see you back! One sugestion, ate the end of video, freeze the final results for 4 or 5 seconds, it will be better to for us to conclude the big picture. Thank you for the video!
Got it!
New Videos Made Me Subscribed To This Channel Im Getting Interested Now! 🤯
Love this. Maybe do something video game related for a future video? Most bought game, most active online users, etc.
Possibly in a couple of days, tomorrow's video is almost ready.
@@DataIsBeautifulOfficial you're beautiful ❤
this is really cool!
RUclips was so close to Facebook in the end there.
The iconic music and the iconic visualisations
So good keep it going!
Thank you! Will do!
I remember Google+. Nobody wanted it, everybody was given one anyway, and they had artificially inflated numbers because people were using other Google products that were posting things for them. One of Google's greatest failures, and it took them a while to realize they needed to just cut it off.
I remember being in contact with Google’s “devs advocate” in my country at that period. He said nobody in the company have any idea why Google was promoting this nonsense so hard.
@@DataIsBeautifulOfficial lol that's great!
if i remember correctly it came after google wave, also a flop
@@CHEEKY_MONKEY that one I've never even heard of. It really must have flopped bigtime.
I can't believe somebody remembers Wave. It was mostly a technical toolbox wrapped in social dress. It later became Google Buzz that in some sense is predecessor of G+
Nice 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
The "Measured by monthly active users worldwide" would be a great addition if it was added in the beginning of the video to understand what the numbers are about. :)
@Aonwa That detail is in the video description text
Why so?
Dataaaa, hello again :D
Don’t mind little ol’ me just admiring how flawless the “OK” logo was. Genius design.
Agree
From radio silence on this channel to near daily content :D
Suggestion: the graph should pause for one or two seconds at the end, otherwise it feels abrupt
Agreed. Usually I pause, something fd up this time.
@@DataIsBeautifulOfficial I think it happened in the last video as well.
delicious data
I always kinda felt bad for Myspace
Do most popular games next (by monthly active users)
wow facebook has a good number of users
So essentially, since Facebook and Instagram are the same company....no one even comes close to Zuck
And another video about instant messengers is even more revealing.
Can you do most popular nfl teams?
Will check it.
Let’s go!
RETURN OF THE KING
come back data Is Beautiful :)
What did you use as a criteria for what was a social media website? I never thought RUclips was one! Case in point though, I'm using it right now lol.
User generated content creation for masses, share-ability and users interaction. That’s why instant messengers not here.
@@DataIsBeautifulOfficial makes sense!
@@DataIsBeautifulOfficial Was LiveJournal considered for this video?
Was expecting orkut to be a lot bigger in the late 2000s and early 2010s. A lot of people used back then before it shut down and everyone switched to fb.
Is there any reason behind the different colours used on the display bars for each company/product/etc in your videos, do the colours mean something in particular?
nope
Crazy, I thought Instagram would've toppled Facebook by the late 2010's
facebook owns instagram lol
@@nostalgic_pokemon_memories I know, doesn't mean that there wasn't a chance that it could still surpass the number of users on facebook lol
It might be like that amount your peers, not over all demographics and regions of the world, the picture is very different. For example,Facebook is still a giant in South East Asia, it's almost synonymous with the internet.
Wow, never would imagine that Reddit is more popular than Twitter. But probably Reddit is only popular in western countries, where most ppl speak english, while Twitter is more global-wide
For real I barely hear Reddit that talked about compared to twitter
I'm so looking forward to the 2003-2030 version of this vid 😁
My guess it won't change much.
Going to do some research on Qzone now - what is it?
Didn't expect reddit to have more users than twittter, nice
reddit is trash
@@YTSuxAxx Twitter on the other hand is bots-free
@@freakingriddle I know you are teasing. Musk said that Twitter was approx 15% bots
Do you know the music name, It sounds amazing
Social network and YT? If that was the case, Billibilli would be a SNS as well, as well as those services that offer you embeddable comment systems and of course Wikipedia
I think YT is social network cause it have more features than just a video hosting/streaming service.
Left us hanging right before FB looses it’s reign ☹️. RUclips has to be becoming more popular globally as more people have access to high speed internet
You know fb is bad when adtube is surpassing it lol
@@Brandon-bc5um fb isn’t bad. RUclips is sure not any better lmao
@@Brandon-bc5um nah Facebook has always sucked. It’s just that many people use RUclips because it’s more accessible than Facebook.
@@Raspberries9372 FB is the most fluid socmed ever lol. You are just a hater that follows tend on hating fb and zuck
@@Raspberries9372 fb still has more users yt is only site where you can only watch videos that's very engaging than interaction between people or reading news no wonder society is slowly collapsing
don't leave us again i missed you
Before the WWW we had BBS (Bulletin Board System) and chat rooms, then came PowWow for Windows (okay, none of them are social networks as we know them today, but they worked like)
Don't forget Newsgroups -- or did they fit one of those categories?
This video's is totally in my Q Zone
0:09 RUclips: Excuse me, coming through
Love u
I can’t believe Google+ lasted even that long
I need to know the name of this song, it's amazing.
I miss Orkut so bad
Crazy to think that since I’ve joined tik tok in late 2019 it has tripled the size. The explosion of growth during pandemics is impressive!
I'm still sad that Vidme didn't make it into this list!
RIP Vidme 2015-2017
Shout out to Hi5 for existing the last 18 years without going under, especially since I've never heard of it.
I was on hi5, sort-of-by-accident: someone I knew joined it and inadvertently sent invitations to his entire list of Contacts. (Remember, we weren't so savvy back in the early '00s.) I joined it, but I never figured out what to do with it.
Im amazing google + actually did pretty well for a period of time considering
twitter is starting to go up fast in 2022
Gosh...I wonder why 😏🤭
I was on Hi5 during the mid 2000s
Today I learned of hi5's existence. . .
Finally I meet someone who had been on Hi5
Wow
Please list metrics. Is this page impressions or users? Or total log-ins?
Monthly active users.
If you can tell the name of the background music?
I frankly don't remember song name. Maybe someone would help here.
Thrilling end
lol
There seems to of been another internet boom around the start of 2022. Interesting. I wonder if this is due to india developing quickly
I can't be the only one that has never heard of Qzone
You're not alone.
Why would YT put a disclaimer under the video about information on COVID 19? That’s so confusing.
No idea. May be social networks is the trigger.
RUclips always king!
Facebook is always king
MySpace is the perfect example of those who do not know the saying "renew or die" and think that it was at the top when Facebook was little known.
IIRC, F******k didn't open to the general public until 2007 -- before that, strictly college students.
@@stevevasta opened to the general public in 2006
@@Kbxbigbro808 Aha. Because I was introduced to it in the summer of '06 by a then-college student, who explained that the site was for college students. Clearly, either his knowledge was outdated, or it opened up in the remaining time that year. Thanks for clarifying.
Facebook and RUclips are head to head
2:07 context: instagram introduced the ‘reels’ feature to fight off tiktok’s potential to overtake them.
I thought they were trying to exploit a potential opening -- should T**** have successfully banned TikTok.
I think it’s interesting that Pinterest spiked in 2020. Says a lot.
Tiktok had a bigger spike than Pinterest did in the year 2020.
People were creating mood boards for home renovation, marriages and cheap travel probably.
youtube will soon overtake facebook
Not in monthly active users
If you combine all mark's platforms is obliterates yt
I hope RUclips wins next year
Two years later it WhatsApp and Facebook is above it 😂
I have been using the internet since 2004, 6hrs per day minimum , and this the first time I see Qzone.
lol
New @Data Is Beautiful reads and reacts to all the comments 😉
I do
Upcoming superstar koo
I would have expected RUclips to be most popular honestly
I suspect it is, but a lot of people watch RUclips videos without an account. You used to be able to see FB content without an account. Then they added a popup which covered a third of your screen if you were accountless. Then it covered 2/3 of the screen. Now they just don't let you see most things without an account.
Who knew that Google+ ever surpassed Twitter in user numbers, however briefly? Was it just the novelty? (I liked G+ fine, but apparently other people didn't.)
Never heard of Qzone
What the heck is a Qzone or Weibo?
So many people using Instagram, and yet I'm not one of them.
Hm. I would have been interested to see this go back a little further. I fully expected to see Xanga on the list at the beginning.
What is xanga
I was really pulling for YT to overtake FB. Come on YT!
Thought Twitter would have been on top but it barely cracked the top 5
It make more noise because it's mostly what media and politicians use. Influence and number of users are really not the same thing
the tiktok number doesnt include chinese version, if included, it would be close to the top 3
