Statistically we actually know this is false, the pre-Covid 6pm internet surge window has actually stuck around as the new baseline normal internet traffic post-covid.
Interesting read. Check out the section "Decline in time spent online". It kicked up for Covid, but is now back to pre-Covid levels:
2016: 6h29
2017: 6h46
2018: 6h48
2019: 6h38
2020: 6h55
2021: 6h57
2022: 6h37
But users are now spending more of that time on social media (about 40%).
