Here’s what BIGtoken found out:
- In April, 24% respondents said they think they’re on social media more than 5 hours per day. In August, that number dropped to 21%, with more people answering (27%) that they’re on social media between 2 to 4 hours.
- When asked ‘Do you believe social media has helped social distancing feel less overwhelming overall?’ 64% said yes.
- 44% of respondents said they have started following more special interest accounts on social media since the pandemic started.
- In April, 64% of respondents said they were on the Internet more than they were in the prior month. And in August, 56% said they were on the Internet more than they were in the previous 4 months.
