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.

Citizens from Belgium who used the Internet in the past 3 months
Method of interview
Questionnaire
Supplementary notes
This question was phrased by the source as follows: "For which of the following activities did you use the Internet for private reasons in the last three months?" [To watch other online video material from video sharing services (e.g. YouTube)]. (In Belgian Dutch: "Voor welke van de volgende activiteiten gebruikte u tijdens de laatste drie maanden het internet om privéredenen?" [Kijken naar onlinevideomateriaal van diensten die videomateriaal delen (bv. YouTube)], in French: "Au cours de ces trois derniers mois, parmi les activités suivantes sur l’Internet, lesquelles avez-vous effectuées à des fins privées?" [Regarder d’autres vidéos en ligne de services de partage de vidéos (YouTube p.ex.)]
The figures have been taken from several publications.
The source does not mention why no numbers were given for 2017. The survey did return that year, but the question was not asked. In 2018, the source resumed the question. Additionally, no numbers exist from before 2016.
