You can check abstract statistics here: http://www.businessinsider.com/sandvine-bandwidth-data-shows...

So the majority bandwidth will be videos. But as for unique users - social media and Google does make up the majority.

I get what you're saying about it feeling quite tiny; however, look at it this way: that's like one active website for every 15 people on the planet!
