Everyone quotes "AI market size" numbers, but the one that actually changed my thinking was adoption speed.
ChatGPT hit 100 million users in about 2 months. TikTok took 9 months. Instagram took 2.5 years. Facebook took 4.5 years.
That's not a hype cycle, that's a usability threshold getting crossed. When a product's adoption curve is that steep, it usually means the friction to get value from it just collapsed.
I built InsightHub around exactly this kind of thing: taking a trend everyone has an opinion on (AI, sports betting, money) and grounding it in the actual numbers instead of vibes. If that's useful to you, come take a look.
