One Billion or Bust

[John Mitchell]

FWIW here's an interesting bit of math trivia. Using the Wayback machine, I estimated that the number of images on Alamy grew about 15% in 2023. I then plugged an initial amount of 379,106,710 images and an annual growth rate of 15% into an online exponential growth calculator, and the results suggested that the number of images on Alamy could top one billion in less than seven years. 😬

 

P.S. My math could be all wet of course, especially the annual growth rate.
