What Was The First Video Ever Uploaded To Youtube

More Than 500 Hours Of Content Are Now Being Uploaded To YouTube Every Minute

Your average person could spend their entire lifetime trying to sentinel all the content uploaded to YouTube in just one 24-hour interval.

The platform's users upload more than 500 hours of fresh video per infinitesimal, YouTube revealed at recent press events. That works out to 30,000 hours of new content per hour, and 720,000 hours of new content per twenty-four hour period.

Divide 720,000 out, and you'll encounter that 82.2 years — aye, years — of new video are uploaded to YouTube each and every day.

This is the first per-minute upload amount we've gotten from YouTube since VidCon 2015, where CEO Susan Wojcicki revealed that 400 hours were being uploaded every minute. (That works out to 65.7 years' worth each 24-hour interval, FYI.) In 2013, a third-party report from Tubular Labs estimated 300 hours were being uploaded.

While these upload amounts are staggering, they're really slim compared to the watch time stats YouTube's also revealed recently. At the NewFronts last week, the platform said more than than 250 million hours of content are watched just on Tv screens each day. That works out to 173,611 hours beingness watched per minute — compared to the 500 beingness uploaded. And that 250 1000000 hours doesn't even include browser and mobile viewing, for which YouTube hasn't broken out exact numbers.

Alive viewership on YouTube is also amping up. A recent report from StreamElements, a platform that develops tools for streamers, indicated that live viewership doubled from the commencement quarter of 2018 to the first quarter of 2019. In Q1 2019, people watched 722 meg hours of streamed content.

The point is, YouTube's amount of new content and the amount of eyeballs watching it are growing not just each year, only each minute.
