Top 20 Most Visited Websites (In The US)

I saw a chart looking at the top 20 most visited websites in the U.S. last month. It's only mildly helpful, but it is interesting and a little funny. 

 

SEMRush via Reddit

From a functional perspective, the most interesting data point to me is that Zoom has cracked the top 20 ... but only barely. I would be interested to see this broken up into time-per-visit to see how that tips the scales. 

From a humorous perspective, only three sites weren't US-based ... and they're all porn sites. 

As an aside, one of my more popular posts has been on how much time people spend on Pornhub. I don't know what this says about society, but it certainly says something.

Have fun ... and safe surfing.
