YouTube is a preferable platform to US adult users

A social media study from Pew Research Center in 2021 based on usage finds out US adults use YouTube more than any other social platform.

81% of US adults say they use YouTube, while Facebook takes second place with 69% percent of users saying they use it, followed by Instagram which 40% of users say they use.

And here's the most popular social networks, arranged by percentage of US adults who use them:

• Pinterest (31%)
• LinkedIn (28%)
• Snapchat (25%)

Pew Research Center declares that social media use has remained flat over the last years, except YouTube and Reddit.

“YouTube and Reddit were the only two platforms measured that saw statistically significant growth since 2019,” the reports stated.

“YouTube is the most commonly used online platform asked about in this survey, and there’s evidence that its reach is growing. Fully 81% of Americans say they ever use the video-sharing site, up from 73% in 2019. Reddit was the only other platform polled about that experienced statistically significant growth during this time period – increasing from 11% in 2019 to 18% today.”

The report includes insights of social media use in 2021, with demographics for each platform.
