To be fair, rest of countries added up have more English-speaking population than the US. Of you would have to also account for the internet access and general social media presence.
But there is a difference between a population who speaks English and a population that speaks English as a first language.
There are five countries that have a larger English speaking population than the UK: India, Nigeria, Pakistan, Indonesia, and the Philippines. Yet, a lot of the cultural output of those nations isn’t in English because those countries have first languages which take priority.
So the commenters of a post may be fairly diverse, but the post is likely going to come from the perspective of someone who speaks English as a first language. In that case, English speakers are likely going to know more about what is happening in the UK over India because British news is likely written in English while Indian news is going to be written in a wider variety of languages.
