I always felt it was one or two more people on the street in Midtown but maybe it was just me
No the most people walking around is downtown. Downtown runs from 14th St and below its a huge area. Most of the clubs and nightlife are downtown. Most of the 24 hours places to eat are downtown. The only big party area uptown is in Hells Kitchen and that's where Gay men are.
There is definitely more people walking downtown 24 hours a day than midtown.

You forgot to mention Times Square for midtown which is like one giant nonstop party (with ebbs and flows) where no one knows each other and everything is super awkward, and the hosts have left their own for a better party.
Times Square is a huge exception and for the most part boring. One of the most sterile areas in NYC and not very pleasant to walk around. I'd much rather walk around Lower Manhattan where it's much more mixed used and beautiful along with being more human scaled.
80% of Manhattan south of 14th is dense residential neighborhoods. The financial district is just a small piece of that. It's certainly more 24 hour overall.
Except for tourists or special occasions most of the nightlife and energy in Chicago is in the neighborhoods - not downtown.

Partying ? More like staring up at the lights all night, taking selfies. Go there now it's not as crowded during this time of the year. Now that the holiday is over the crowds have died down tremendously. Passed threw there leaving work the other day and was shocked how empty it was compared to last month

Times Square is so crowded as to be virtually impassible most of the time.
It isn't empty at at time of the day or night; not even at 4 AM on a weeknight.

Nah sometimes it actually gets pretty empty. Especially when its bad weather. 4AM, weekday on a week not close to any major holidays, cold and windy with torrential rain, you wouldn't have many people there at all. The only people you'd see there are locals coming from around the Midtown area trying to get on their train to get home and random group of Germans (I swear its always Germans) at the Times Square Walgreens....

If there's a less empty place on earth, I would like to see it. Yes, if there's some horrible weather and it's 4 AM, obviously there will be far fewer people than in the middle of the day.
In any case, it's likely the busiest pedestrian crossroads on earth. Certainly busier than Shibuya Crossing or major intersections in Europe.
