In 2009, a Facebook account holder Liked, on average, 4.5 Pages. In just
four years, this number increased to an average of 40 Pages! Not only that, but
brands have been expanding their use of social media in their marketing
campaigns, raising the number of Facebook posts that they make from an average
of five times per month to 36. This means that in 2009, Facebook users only had
to keep up with a manageable 23 updates per month, whereas they are currently
bombarded with around 1 440 updates per month!
