Didn't strike me as particularly remarkable.

it's not. it just happened to go viral.

But then, I guess there
might be a billion (still) photos taken every day?

much more than that.

I wonder how many, then. Good example of a Fermi problem. I'd guessed
(without googling) a billion smartphones with plenty of people not
taking many photos. Although I'll often take a couple of hundred photos
on a day's shooting it's probably not 1000 a month (although I could see
this going up as burst modes get better). Deliberately not counting
things like CCTV.
