Apparently there is over 7 billion people on earth. If you do a quick google search you will see estimates of over 3 billion people using the internet...

Now go to almost any forum on this internet and look at the amount of threads created per day...

Where are the 3 billion people?

Think of just ats, which as far as i can recall is one of the top conspiracy forums covering a wide range of topics, Is this tge .00000001 % of humanity that actually talks?

Where is everyone?

Blogging forums are probably not the main volume used.

Not everyone is english speaking. Most people are probably on websites in their own language. I know tons of Germans who [even though capable of browsing in English] have never much been on any English language sites, they have quite a few entertaining ones in German.

So that's where they all are, on websites you can't understand.

That's like saying I can only see about 4000 stars in a night sky and they say there are trillions of them out there.
Where are those stars I don't see?

www.youku.com...
www.iqiyi.com...

Those are just 2 of China's main video sites, like our Youtube.

Then you've got news-related websites from various countries, which are typically in that country's native language. Many of them also have their own social media sites, dating sites, sports sites, etc.

In fact, screw all of that. Just look up the most popular websites by web traffic or by revenue. And don't forget that being online doesn't mean the person participates in social forums. Ebay, Uber, and Netflix users also count as people who use the internet.

If everybody wrote, who would have time to read?
Several million people in the world are interested in football. So why are they not milling about on the pitches, all kicking the ball simultaneously? The answer is that most of them are content to be spectators. Similarly the internet.

I think your mistake here is in assuming that all the websites that you are aware of are all that exists.

Every countries has 1000s of websites in their own language that you have never heard of .
And don't forget the dark web.

the majority of internet users do not sign up for social and chat services. They just browse the news, do some shopping, and research what they need when they need too. Much of those three billion
are from the undeveloped or developing world.
