Social Media Giants - Ranked from largest to smallest with stats !

Being the Social media lackey that I am, I have no clue what social media outlets are currently controlling the market share. The most obvious one ( FaceBook ) comes to mind but there're many others and where exactly do they stack up next to each other ? Well, let's take a look.

It should be no surprise to anyone that on top of the Social Media giants we have Facebook with an astonishing 2.1 + Billion monthly users. On June 27th, 2017 , Mark Zuckerberg announced that Facebook had reached 2 million users.

Needing no introduction and second on our list is Youtube with 1.5 + billion users. Youtube taking second place on this list should be no surprise to anyone but here is something you may not know about Youtube. It was founded by three ex paypal employees in 2005 who less then a year later sold it to google for $ 1.65 Billion.

Instagram is third on the list of these social media giants. Instagram was first launched in 2010 and has quickly grew in popularity. It's current user base contains 800 million + users. Something that might surprise you about Instagram is that it's owned by Facebook. Talk about owning a big peace of the pie.

Twitter is up next on our list with 330 + million users to date. Twitter was created in 2006 and quickly caught on. It's members send an average of 340 million tweets daily. Each tweet can contain 140 characteristics. You must sign up to the site before you are allowed to send what is known as a tweet but anyone can read tweets without signing up.

Fifth on this list is Reddit with 250 + million users. Reddit is a social media site where you can sign up and discuss just about anything. Others read your content and will give you an upvote ( which helps keep your topic on the front page ) or a down-vote if they don't like or don't agree with your topic / comment. Anyone can read a Reddit but if you want to post or vote you must sign up to the site.

As you see Steemit and other sites like it have a long way to go to compete with these giants.

Have any of these on the list surprised you ? For me I thought Instagram would be lower on the list. I am surprised that it beat both Reddit and Twitter. Give your opinions below in the comment section.
