It seems to have really taken off on the various Virtual TableTop setups. There are people who don't have a local group, who just want to play, usually with minimal wait times.
Quality of the GM doesn't seem to matter all that much.
For comparison, a lot of VTT games can be quite picky about adding players and so people can wait for quite some time before finding a game, and the handful of "Will take anyone who can make it at <insert time/date>." open games tend to fill very rapidly (within minutes, even for games that won't happen for a month or more).

This would seem not to be important for the online games. So I wonder how that compares, but I don't think there will be any sort of data you could just look at for some time, if ever.
