YouTube Statistics - Views Per Day
YouTube – Hits 4 Billion Views a Day
- How many videos do you watch in a week?
- How many times have you gone to youtube to watch 1 video and ended up watching 7?
Google confirmed that YouTube is now averaging 4 BILLION views per day. They also confirmed that 60 hours of video is uploaded into the site, every MINUTE.
Back in 2010 we were awed that YouTube hit 2 billion views per day, bringing up many discussions about whether YouTube was helping or hurting our culture as a whole.
Then Back in May 2011, a mere 8 months ago, YouTube celebrate it’s 6th birthday by citing YouTube is averaging 3 billion views per day and 48 hours of video uploaded per minute. Incredible. At the time, YouTube cited this is equivalent of every US Resident watching at least 9 videos per day. That is EVERY US RESIDENT. That means if some guy without internet is not watching a video, someone is watching 18 times. But now at 4 Billion Views, YouTube has seen a 50% increase in views in about less than a year. At this rate, they would probably hit 5 billion within 6 months.
Is there a ceiling to this?
How many videos can one person possibly watch in a day?
That is an insane about of videos. We really need a resurgent of hobbies or find some meaningful work! Anyone have any good stories of replacing mundane video watching with something productive?
Ironically having said that, below is a YouTube video highlighting this latest milestone. HA! Add another view to that figure.

Don’t leave out those outliers where you watched 25 videos with your two friends around the couch!

It is astounding 4 billion views per day but this has been on the cards for quite some time considering that the world is ever becoming more online orientated. I think another rason for this is that youtube has a dominant position, other providers like vimeo and dailymotion cant even scratch its surface. It wont be long now before youtbe does deals with TV companies to stream their shows exclusively!
