A survey in January and February 2019 from the Pew
Research Centre, a think tank, found that 69% of American
adults use Facebook; of these users, more than half visit the
site “several times a day”. YouTube is even more popular,
with 73% of adults saying they watch videos on the platform.
For those aged 18 to 24, the figure is 90%. Instagram, a
photo-sharing app, is used by 37% of adults. When Pew
first conducted the survey in 2012, only a slim majority of
Americans used Facebook. Fewer than one in ten had an
Instagram account.

Americans are also spending more time than ever
on social-media sites like Facebook. There is evidence
that limiting such services might yield health benefits. A
paper published last year by Melissa Hunt, Rachel Marx,
Courtney Lipson and Jordyn Young, all of the University of
Pennsylvania, found that limiting social-media usage to 10
minutes a day led to reductions in loneliness, depression,
anxiety and fear. Another paper from 2014 identified a link
between heavy social-media usage and depression, largely
due to a “social comparison” phenomenon, whereby users
compare themselves to others and come away with lower
evaluations of themselves.
