Anyone know of a source that keeps track of images posted to Instagram, Facebook etc? Surely with all the phone cameras in use there must be billions per day.

Found this from seven years ago: https://www.businessinsider.com/wer...llion-photos-to-social-media-every-day-2014-5

Nearly double that in 2020: https://theconversation.com/3-2-bil...line-daily-can-you-sort-real-from-fake-148630

Unreal.

Most of these images will be only viewed a few times by a few people and then sit idle on servers for years.

How many people will want to know what their second cousin once removed had for lunch on 23 March 2017?
