What statistic would you like to see floating above a person’s head? – 17 revealing numbers people want to read
Thanks to social media, we can get a vague numerical insight into a person’s life. We can see how many people follow them and vice versa, how many times they’ve posted, and even how many people like what they have to say.
People are endlessly curious though, so it’s no surprise that they’ve got an appetite for even more data. To find out exactly what people want to know, No_Foot4435 put the following question to r/AskReddit:
