One of the channels that entered our lives with the internet, the locomotive of digital transformation, is YouTube. The platform, which contains tons of videos and has become a source of income for content creators, especially in the last ten years, continues to grow day by day. So how many videos have been uploaded so far to the medium that has been actively operating for 18 years? This question was recently answered.
How many videos have been uploaded to YouTube so far?
Blogger Ethan Zuckerman shed light on unknowns about YouTube with the report he shared on his website. Accordingly, exactly 13 billion 325 videos were uploaded to the platform between 2006 and 2023. When we look at the shared statistics, it is possible to say that the medium entered a growth trend starting from 2006 and peaked by 2023.
Zuckerman underlines that more than 4 billion videos will be uploaded to YouTube in 2023 and this is a record. Apart from this, the number of views of the videos on the platform was also slightly below expectations. Because the report states that only 4 percent of all videos received 10 thousand or more views.
Another interesting detail about the platform is the average number of views. Accordingly, a YouTube video is watched an average of 39 times. Apart from this, a new record was broken on YouTube in the past weeks. After Rockstar’s GTA 6 promotional trailer was released, it was watched more than 70 million times within the first 24 hours, breaking a record that is hard to break. This record was previously held by the famous American YouTuber MrBeast with his video “7 Days Stranded At Sea”, which received 59.4 million views.
