YouTube boasts 3bn views a day on 6th birthday
As YouTube celebrates its sixth birthday, it is able to boast three billion page views a day, which is the equivalent of almost half the world’s population watching a video.
In a blog post, YouTube thanks its users and says: “Back in November we challenged you to up the volume of videos you uploaded to the site. And boy, did you take the bait. Today, more than 48 hours (two days worth) of video are uploaded to the site every minute, a 37% increase over the last six months and 100% over last year.”
“The other great birthday present? Your views. We’re amazed that over this last weekend, you drove YouTube past the three billion views a day mark, a 50% increase over last year.”
