Belgium: online video in Wallonia, by age 2019

Respondents from Belgium's French-speaking region of Wallonia used online video sharing services such as YouTube only slightly more in 2019 as compared to 2018. This according to survey results that looked into online activities from individuals in Belgium and its three regions: Dutch-speaking Flanders, French-language Wallonia and the Brussels-Capital Region (the city of Brussels with its surrounding villages). Noticeable are the gaps for certain age groups, which the source does not explain. Nonetheless, use among most Walloon respondents grew in 2019. Noticeable, however, is the decrease among the oldest age groups.
