Amazons real size is the all the other websites that run on AWS infrastructure.
Or cloudflare
Then Microsoft is huge as well.
In Europe there is actually very little that you can buy on Amazon and its also intentionally confusing to use. We have much better sites with user friendly interface here. No idea why US doesnt have anything like that.
Cloudflare> but yeah like 75% or more of the internet back end is AWS. Amazon runs most of the internet lol.
Amazon's viewer count is still extremely impressive as people don't need to buy things every day. All of the other websites provide something that people will view probably multiple times a day for longer periods of time. So for Amazon to compete against that even as remotely as well as it does is very impressive to me.
The graph is visits, not money spent. Amazon is not something you visit several times a day, unlike Google.
yep, think amazon is like the biggest revenue of the top fang companies. Obviously they dont earn the most in profit through. Anyway as a person from Denmark its odd how USA only goes 1 source - We use many different sites/companies.
@@Djuntas I used to order a bunch of stuff from Amazon, in 2012 to 2020 mostly - now I only do it if it is the case that they have something very specific (such as a new 4K Blueray movie) as the site is filled with low-quality Wish stuff, so there is no point shopping there.
yeah, and to find anything on amazon you visit google. because amazon's search is idiotically hostile.
@@Djuntas Most revenue probably, but people also forget that Amazon makes their most money with AWS at the end.
@@Tudas Yep, thats the cash cow and the CEO they have now was on the team for AWS. I dont think any streaming service or larger online game aint using AWS.
Don't be fooled. We're really witnessing a competition to see which site you have selected to be your home/start page when you open your browser. The real coolness was in the bottom half of the screen the whole time.
People still set home pages?
Most people don't use browsers anymore, they download apps.
@@GSBrokerYeah but the titles say websites, not platform in general
yep, the most impressive part are *videos and others, because these are the only real impressions here. Probably nobody has them as their home/start page. It's still true, internet is for pron an cat-pictures lol
@@GSBroker and what do you think is the default search enigine when you search something on your phone?
2007 to 2009 is when Internet competition plummeted and Advertising crossed between Google, Facebook, UA-cam and a slim few others just took over and all web creativity, competition and innovation was gone.
True. 2010s was the culmination of what was changing in the internet over that period 2007-2009. It was happening slowly....mostly in the background for majority of people.
Facts
Well sure the recession hit globally, advertising and regular business plummeted since less money to go around, but since these sites are free to access they benefited more than anyone else.
It moved to the smart phone app space.
2007 is when the first free porn came on internet, i thinkit was already pornhub, not sur, but yeha in addition with the smartphone that what lead us to the Amoral and degenerate socity we ar eliving in
Yahoo missing the opportunity to buy Google is its biggest mistake.
It probably worked out better for us.
@@cmike123 yeahhhhh
they would have fucked the internet, the way they use invasive ads.
@@cmike123 maybe, who knows, they weren't given the chance to be the ones to screw us over so we'll never know really. Some companies get better over time when they're at the top and take in feedback like Google did in it's early days.
@@JBMetalProductionsevery single site was like that in early internet era.
Thanks man!
I love your videos! I’m glad Asmon is now getting to watch and enjoy them as well.
Thank you too. Great to have videos like yours that put things in perspective and enable moments of reminiscing.
"Instagram is a pokedex for girls. " Asmongold 2024
Since Facebook is messed up 😂
It truly is that's all I follow on it lol
@@ricardohoang8452 Facebook is the Pokedex of those aunts that make up the line at the grocery store
the GOATED quote of 2024
People can make fun of this all day long but in the end he is right about it!
My dad bought the family a PC back in 1995 and it cost him nearly 2k. 10 years later I remember getting one for 200$. Prices really came down and made getting online so affordable.
Yeah but socialism is offseting the gains.
@@visitante-pc5zc😂😂😂😂😂 okkkk as if living in the US which is a capitalist market but yes socialism is killing it 💀💀💀💀 no mames guey
Early 2010's is when I remember making some of the cheapest (but very capable) desktops for myself and friends. Chuck a low end Pentium dual core (E2xxx/E4xxx) into a $50 matx motherboard, overclock it to 4ghz and beyond (with ease) and you had most of the performance of the high end at a fraction of the cost.
@@visitante-pc5zcIf it was socialist it'd actually have affordable healthcare
@@bulletflight 😂😭 don’t fry the few brain cells the dude has. Them need em for the years to come
Google included picture search. That was basically the sole reason I used it over altavista back then. I remember it clearly. When they included video search it was completly over for the competition.
That lil bit where Yahoo came back and beat google briefly felt like the old hero in an anime giving it his all one last time before dying
the home design on yahoo just matches well with the type of web designs the japanese were making as well, where everything is in your face, texts everywhere you look and there's little to no empty space to breathe.
It's wild, cause since bing came out with ai search, I don't think I've used Google for anything except the hub, and I go straight there url.
Google is big, but it won't last forever. Just like yahoo, failure to address things like horrible search results, too many ads, many of which are scams. Competitors will come and claim the title.
It is essentially Japan carrying the website. It is essentially all Japan now.
I feel silly for still using yahoo at this point lol
That was from Obama tanking the economy and everyone was checking Yahoo News hoping for things to improve.
The most shocking part to me was that the *videos was pretty much always bigger than the hub
Yeah i always thought it was the other way around, kinda surprised it's this way.
The hub would have stayed bigger, but they are falling off because of the Age Verification.
X is much larger ww then the hub.
@@cmike123 it's not the age verification, but the nuke on amateur videos (december 2020)
but what I was talking about is that for pretty much whole 5 years the hub was smaller
well i always assumed videos was bigger than the hub. the hub has too much UI like wtf man i am not here to get some ui experience just play the damn video.
also videos video player was much better on slower internet
ah memories of better times
I miss the old web
Yahoo stayed so big for so long, not because it was a search engine (Google was always WAY better), but because Yahoo had email and a news site.
When gmail started gaining traction and people started mass swapping over in like 2009-2010, and the public started really embracing the internet at large and going to dedicated news sites (or using their Facebook feeds for news) instead of watching news channels on TV, then Yahoo fell off hard.
Yahoo mail got problem with spams, tons of spams. I switched to Google because less spam, it got better spam filter algorithm. Now I'm using Proton due to privacy...
games too
Nope. Internet started coming to other countries, especially in South America and Asia, and Yahoo was huge in those countries. Not to mention Yahoo Games became a behemoth with Chess and Pool finding a huge audience.
I'm actually surprised netflix didn't do better during covid
The graph reffers to visits in each website under the main domain. It's normal that Google or UA-cam have more visits, and even more with shorts now in YT, because the retention in each site address is lower and then you click on another one to watch another video. Amazon, Netflix or Twitch have less 'clicks' but more time retention.
This is by monthly visits, so the problem with charts like this is a lot of people had websites like AOL, Yahoo, MSN, etc as their homepage, so every time they loaded up the browser, I would load those pages.
Your forgetting in 2003 yahoo was one of the main email services people used gmail wasn't available to everyone yet. Gmail was still sign up by invite in 2004.
When I was younger, I decorated a Christmas tree one year with AOL cd's. I used alcohol to remove the print from the one side.
In the early 2000s I was fixing peoples browsers all the time especially mamaws. You nailed it with the coming back to a PC and the search bars being half way down the screen 😂
All these websites remind me of how thankful I am that adblockers were invented.
*videos and *hamster are deleting old vids, feels bad man... The worst part is like the vids were only uploaded there and there's no other copy hosted elsewhere. Really makes you think if its on the internet, is it really there forever?
They are probably available in some online archiver, such as wayback machine
@@pollointerestelar7439 Wayback machine is surprisingly bad at archiving videos. Almost every video i've tried to find on wayback machine has been unavailable
They dont delete old vids, the uploader does. Or a star in the video hit them with a copyright.
@@cmike123 these are like homemade vids uploaded 8+ years ago, and usually its the only video uploaded on the account. Very unlikely that the account owner would even have access to it.
@@braz1080 I'm not sure what you are talking about. When I look at my favorites, the only vids that are deleted either have a deactivated account, or the star was named and a representative tracked the vid down and copyrighted it.
As soon as Facebook opened up to everyone, not just college kids, it destroyed Myspace.
I remember MySpace and Xanga, good times.
I met my husband on Myspace. I have been bored ever since I won the internet 🎉😅
I remember having a Facebook account when it was still closed to colleges. However, I soon got friended by classmates and former classmates who had never even talked to me, and it weirded me out, so I ended up deleting the account. In hindsight, I probably should have talked to some of the girls who sent me friend requests, but I was pretty uncomfortable with the concept of social media at the time.
look at what happens when it gets opened to everyone, just spam and people trying to sell you shit lol
yandex back in the day was _dangerous._ In like an Omeagle kind of way. you could go from a school research project to trauma town super quick
Amazon isn't small it just isn't social media or a search engine being visited dozens of times per day.
You know what else is visited dozens of times per day?😏🤭🤫
Or simply because it's just mainly big in US
@@Lilac_31 eg baidu is big but it's still only 1/9th the size of amazon
Most of its users also primarily use the phone app, not the actual website, as well.
Same reason as to why apple isnt on this infographics.
Apparently 1.5 million people still pay for Aol services today 😂
1:51 Lycos was a search engine.
Lycos - go get it. Good boy. ugh my parents kept the tv on 24/7 of course they had one in every room, boomers man.... to my mom's credit i've been using "the internet" since the old school bbs days. Gotta love it, i've been using computers every day since i was 7 (1991)
Weird to say but Gen Z and younger will never experience the rise of the Internet. Changed our lives permanently.
But they will experience the decline of humanity. So in the end everyone has something to be nostalgic about.
Well genz did half or less of them if we are talking like starting before 2013
Instead they will witness the rise of ai and other machines.
Likely the decline of the internet.
Changed our lives.
Ruined their lives.
Gen Z did experience this from 2009 and onwards
Google bar is in every smartphone from factory. Thats why its so dominant.
Every Amazon user gives them money while most of google and youtube users don't pay anything.
Plus every site uses Amazon web service
Nothing is free my friend.
You are the product
Google makes bank off knowing everything about us.
@@GEO_________________________24 I understand that Google makes a lot of money out of as I'm just saying that Amazon user base seems small compared to Google but it's misleading.
Holy shit. Excite and Altavista used to be my go to search engines. Haven’t heard these names in ages.
i was born in 1996 and started playing on PC in like 2004. never thought so many people had internet before i was even born. thats pretty crazy to think about xD
My dad still has an aol account he barely uses ever, but he’s 55 so it makes a little sense, he also has a new iPhone and screens on every boat and truck he owns
so many stories from uncle Zack
Lycos was a search engine. They used to have TV ads with a dog named Lycos fetching things like you'd fetch search results.
It's weird growing up as a kid when the internet took off and remembering all this.
google is so skewed because a majority of people use chrome as their main browser and every time someone opens a new tab on chrome it defaults to opening google's website which counts towards the visit count
Dude, I'm so old i remember getting AOL 3.5" floppy disks in the mail bro. And that's what I used to install AOL back in 1996.
I have the 14.4k baud modem sound forever ingrained into my memory.
@@TheAzrai It was the worst when you went to use the phone and you didn't realize someone was already on the internet.
All school computers and those at home for that matter, that had Google as start page also gives alot extra
Google video and Halo 2 montages were so great! The IT department at my high school never ended up blocking Google video so I was able to watch montages there on the computers since my family still had dial-up 😅
Love the music in this one...
Amazon is a retailer so it's not going to have the amount of visits as searc and social media.
Chicken or Egg, how much does social media create mental health issues or does mental health issues project into social media?
Social media does cause mental health issues. Studied and verified.
Damn I thought this was a replay from when you did it last year. I still have a Yahoo email from 2000 as my main email.
Ah, this video again, would've been nice to see one that's up to April 2024.
Air mosaic was the browser and metacrawler the search engine my friend..
We were also the man now dog...
We all know Lynx is the best web browser.
The real ones remember Ask Jeeves
I didnt have internet connection but i had a now ancient gateway desktop, and box monitor. Well it had an Aol shortcut pre installed. I dont know where it came from other than either the os or any of the game discs i had like quake 3 arena
I wonder if application usages is also included in the stat. Feels like Facebook and Twitter should be even higher then this.
AOL. Remember AOL Instant Messenger?
Legendary 😂
2007 truly was the beginning of the end for all of humanity
A big reason for yahoo being so big for so long was games.. Their multiplayer pool, hearts, spades, etc etc had 10s of 1000s of people refreshing the pages constantly..
I remember they had a phone book thing for websites back on 91
Yandex being one of the most popular websites ever is really amazing
It's impossible to find anything on Google through reverse image search so I switched to Yandex Images. The difference is night and day.
It's pretty good when Google fails due to Current Thing™
It's pretty good when Google fails
@@TechnoMinarchistBall Instead of Google harvesting your data to sell you stuff/provide the government a backdoor to monitor you for wrongthink, with Yandex you'll have Russia harvesting your data to help them design more effective disinformation operations targeting your country. Unless you are Russian, then it's basically Google.
Yandex is unironically the best search engine because it has no censorship whatsoever, which is kinda ironic considering it's a Russian website.
U gotta respect Yahoo for fighting tooth and nail to still be surviving.For the record the Internet is dead compared to what it was in the wild west days
Im very surprised how well yahoo is doing
@@SeanSMST true, i thought it would leave the list around 2017 or so, but it stayed till the end.
Something special about the old internet, maybe its just the nostalgia. In terms of popularity, older people use the internet now is definitely a factor. In 2003 my mom never used the computer and would always ask what I was even doing on the computer. Now she uses youtube via a smart tv, has an ipad, etc. Things like phones and tablets meant a lot of 'normies' have access to the internet without even using a traditional pc.
Remember all of those free Internet discs that came in the mail for 4 free hours of AoL or JUNO 😂😂😂. We used to frisbee those things at each other until they shattered into pieces 😂
When you use Wikipedia to read about the Bible you’ll see a lot of “this is not believed to be historical by most current scholars,” regarding things like the authorship of books, etc. What the average Redditor won’t understand is that this doesn’t mean anything. Bible scholarship (and a lot of historical scholarship in general) has been taken over by “critical theorists” and form critics (formally known as “higher critics.”
Traditional, fact-based historical critique of the Bible and other texts is boring because there’s a limited set of evidence for things like, say, the crucifixion, and little to no room for hot new takes and “bombshell” revelations that sell books. So modern Bible scholars mostly employ “form criticism” and try to reach conclusions based on textual analysis that is mostly speculative. For example, “Paul used some words in Colossians that he didn’t use in Romans, ergo Paul didn’t write Colossians.”
Tl;dr: Wikipedia convinced millions of fedora guys that they’d “debunked” the Bible because other fedora guys edit Wikipedia.
“Myspace having html is why there’s so many female web developers now”
Damn bro, blew my mind
We had a dedicated isp at the house but my dad would still use the free month of AOL every once in a while.
AOL was not dethroned for its use as an internet service provider though, just no one used its search engine after 2001
Kinda sad that yahoo went downhill wonder why...this was fun nostalgia
We used AoL cds as coasters, and at work, we collected big stacks and then played baseball with him. They exploded spectacularly if you got in a good hit. I think the field behind the place I used to work at the time still has the shards lying around.
Lol I was about to mention Ask Jeeves and then he brought it up. That used to be my primary search engine 😂
Amazon is probably comparatively small, because people only go there to buy stuff. As opposed to sites like UA-cam, Google or Facebook that are visited for daily needs or habits. I don't visit Amazon nearly as much as UA-cam or Google, and I'm sure this is true for many other people too.
Exactly. While people might be using Amazon every day, they're only using it once or twice a day at most while people are going on sites like UA-cam, Google and Facebook dozens of times per day if not all day.
The reason for Yahoo's continued growth (compared to other websites) is probably due, at least in part, to Japan still using it as a hub for news and other stuff. It really popped off in Japan in the early 2000s and remained relevant ever since.
I in the US use yahoo as much as google for yahoo finance. Nothing compares everyone uses it. Its not for the search in the us.
Amazon seems small. But a bunch of these other sites run on Amazon.
This is only about monthly visits and amazon sells stuff / makes money through selling stuff. The other sites are mainly tools you need, entertainment or social media.
You watch several videos and search many things a day, but you only buy stuff on amazon every now and then. But they make much more money selling things.
Most people use the app as well, not the actual website.
@@DrDipsh1t I'm gonna assume that this counts the apps because no one is opening Facebook and Instagram on their PC.
When I was in highschool they demanded that projects would be sent to the professor using a Yahoo mail only
Bruh i feel old i remember bring like a kid making a geocities dragonball website
Google acts like it’s more than it is. It’s a search engine. Big deal.
it's the owner of youtube, the very platform you used to write this comment, the owner of gmail, which you (probably) used to make an account here, and the owner of most used website of all time. so yes, it is a big deal
As someone who is 36 years old, this is basically my childhood and adult life
Starting to make sense why internet services are becoming so greedy
Wow W on the dark mirror statement man
You know what didn't make it onto this graph?

It was there! It appeared at the bottom of the list and was at like 200m I think
@@khansterbeam95 oh yeah, better than none, i guess. lol
Who remembers during mid 90s to early 2000s when Amazon was a Book retailer and started doing music and movies too.
I remember when they made the swap from only offering books and electronics to start selling other products and everyone thought it was the dumbest idea on the planet.
Man how things have changed.
Jeff planned shits so long ago
first they destroyed barnes and noble, then they aim for everyone else.
Now the percentage of book sales compared to the rest must be ridiculously small
2:10 my Dad didn't want us using any non Microsoft products or programs so I never used Google until high school
I probably had 50+ AOL free trial CD back in the day. Back when the internet was new and the magazines were still popular and just about every one of them came with one, lol.
no Tik Tok so I assume the website through smartphones didn't count. I'd say the number of Facebook, Twiter/X, IG, UA-cam should be a lot more than what it shows.
TikTok growth is exponential it could genuinely be that it wasn't top ten until December 2023, it was like one year and BOOM 10 million people subscribed in a month
no, that's in there, you just overestimate their visits because of all the hype. They are close to the top 10 though. If I remember correctly they were around 15/16 in 2023.
I met my wife and now ex wife through a yahoo message board and then they shut down the boards and we moved to messenger. So because of Yahoo I met my wife who was 1200 miles from me and then a year later I moved to live with her and stuff. Crazy shit
Yahoo used to be fun. Me and my friend used to play in the online games lobby all of the time.
I wonder if the fact that people use the amazon app vs the website drastically lowers those numbers? I kinda though amazon was gonna be way higher, way sooner.
20 years of figuring out what the internet is good for untill you have bandwidth.
You can basically see the internet die in 2007-2008. If he stops talking long enough to see it anyway.
Saying the internet died in a time where the usage grew exponentially is wild. What you actually saw was the rise of misinformation campaigns (Obama not being an American citizen) and the subsequent rise in fact-checking.
yip back then facebook was useful, you could actually post something, talk to people and it was great... today you it is junk. But these platforms come and go, people thought myspace was going to be forever, killed by facebook, the same will happen to many platforms. I will still use Reddit from time to time, since it is not all about money. To engage you have to participate
@@cmike123 LMAO if you think Obama being an kenyan was the worst conspiracy theory and misinformation on the internet. That is hilarious man it is a really insignificant part of the "internet"
@@cmike123 Bro real talk? Trump's claim to fame is that he actually went to Hawaii and got the truth which Obama was "too good for" giving us, which is that he had a Kenyan father and forced Obama to actually prove his citizenship, only assumed based on faith until 2011.
@@bretert I see you dont understand what an example is...
There's a lot of countries without proper Amazon with fast deliveries and nearby fullfillment centers. I live in Finland and I sometimes buy stuff off German Amazon, but delivery takes over a week and it's not a customer friendly experience if you need to do returns or whatever. Website isn't available in Finnish, and it's so janky they'll send you emails and messages in German even if you only ever use English.
It’s so cool as a younger person to see what people older than me were in to, love the videos🖤
Holy crap haven't heard of Lycos for like 20 years already.
i just tested, lol, i dont lycos
I remember edgily using AOL CD's as coasters.
They're terrible coasters don't absorb moisture and get sticky from the water.
I used them as shuriken. My grandfather hung them from trees in the garden.
Amazon is not that big because a lot of countries still favor their regional online shopping sites that will probably have better local delivery infrastructure, purely digital sites like Google, UA-cam or social media have a better shot at becoming global hits.
There's also the incremental speed increases on home internet service isps went from 56k Modems to residential fibre optic
lol, by the end of it it's all just search engines, social media, and porn. There's a single education website and a single commerce website.
Many people instead of using bookmarks use search engines to browse, so that's basically their starting point everytime
it was literally 2 porn sites, stop being so beta
Bro, my dad still uses AOL to this day lmao. Still has not upgraded.
What would constitute an upgrade if it does everything he needs it to do? 🤷🏻♂️

I think it's impressive how Amazon is the only company on that list offering physical products as opposed to all the other ones (not sure about baidu, or the russian ones). Ebay did amazing in that regard as well. I think it being physical products they were offering as well and it wasn't completely global may have played a part in why it didn't exceed over the other companies. Not too sure though I'm just a stoner enjoying a video that wanted to comment =p
The Internet didn't ruin the world, social media did.

Real oldheads remember UA-cam Replies which was so toxic they got rid of it, you could reply to a video with your own video dissing the original and calling the creator names rofl
But thinking about it, this is really what inspired React content.
@@Ruddline I used to could find any video. I can no longer find videos me and my friends made. I know the titles and the accounts are still there, but when I search you cannot find them. I wonder how many videos are hiding behind this veil now! The dislike button change, the changes to monetization, etc. has really destroyed this platform. I still use it because I am forced to.
Any of those sites post 2015 that have good apps aren't the actual net user data, its web traffic on their domain, which excludes the app.
He should do more of these
Where is TikTok?
Its a app...
Difference between app & website, this is a website ranking 😅

The only thing about this video that matters.
Yahoo popping off in the 2009 I think it's when Yahoo FAQ funny stuff started happening.
Does this video track app usage? I would imagine around 2015-2018 is the blow up of smartphone and all big tech companies making a smart phone application. This would explain why app like Amazon such are so low because people rather use the app then type the website.
Totally First
