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.
