The four pie charts compare how often Australians in different age brackets viewed videos on a particular online platform in 2017.
Overall, the data demonstrate a clear age-related pattern: younger groups were far more likely to watch videos frequently, whereas older groups, especially those aged 60 and above, were predominantly non-users. This highlights a gradual decline in digital engagement with increasing age.
Among 25-34 year-olds, almost 70% accessed the site at least weekly, including 39% who watched daily, the highest proportion across all groups. By contrast, only 14% of this cohort reported rarely or never using the platform, the lowest figure overall. The 35-44 age group showed slightly less intensity, with just over half watching at least weekly, and nearly one-third falling into the infrequent category.
Engagement dropped sharply from age 45 onwards. In the 45-59 group, almost half (49%) rarely or never used the site, while daily and weekly users together accounted for only 40%. The steepest decline was observed in those aged 60 and above, where nearly two-thirds (65%) reported little or no use, and only a negligible minority (8%) engaged daily.
In conclusion, the frequency of online video viewing in Australia in 2017 was inversely proportional to age. While young adults were consistent and heavy consumers, participation steadily declined across older cohorts, culminating in minimal usage among seniors.
