YouTube is huge, it's one of the biggest websites in the world and completely dominates online video. The latest stats are a bit mind-boggling, 60 hours of video is uploaded every minute. That's one hour of video every second.
That certainly seems like a lot, but there's nothing really to compare it with, it's just a big number. 48 hours of video every minute, the last milestone, was equally impressive.
With
numbers beginning to lose their meaning, YouTube turned to an alternative way of creating context, a website showing what a YouTube second, a YouTube minute and a YouTube hour really means.
Check out the video above for an idea of what to expect, but be sure to visit the site, aptly named
onehourpersecond.com to see a lot more funny examples.
