2.7B youtube users is about 1/3 of the people on Earth, and a solid majority of internet users.

India has the most youtube users at 570M+, though the US is highest in youtube traffic. Japan also has high youtube traffic per capita.

1/3 isn't a majority.


X = Y/3, X = Z, Y != Z


The GGP said

> But the thing is, a majority of people on Earth are Youtube users, so what the heck does that even mean.

The GP challenged this.

The parent defended this by point out the 1/3rd figure.

I pointed out that 1/3rd isn't a majority so the GGP was still wrong.

So yes I agree. X or Z aren't 'the majority' of Y.
