Yesterday, YouTube announced via its official blog that the video uploading and sharing website is now seeing 60 hours of playback every minute and four billion views per day. To simplify these numbers even further, it means that users of YouTube are uploading an hour of video every minute.
For all the hours of video you’re uploading—you’re watching more as well; we’ve now exceeded four billion video views globally every day. That’s up 25 percent in the last eight months and the equivalent of more than half the world’s population watching a video every day, the same number as there are US $1 bills in circulation, the same as number of years since there was water on Mars...it’s a big number, and you’re making it bigger every day.
