YouTube: 35 hours of video uploaded every minute

That is unbelievable... How they keep it up and running is beyond me.

This is the future

I like the games ETC allow you to instant upload to youtube. If you don't have a Capture card being able to just upload to youtube is great. I hope more games do this.

What bandwidth do you need to support a website such as this? And they are saying that they want from us 48 hours per minute?
@TomSEA i agree with you.
this just makes us look like *****s when we're complaining about a video that doesn't load fast enough

The future is here.

Wow, that's pretty impressive. That is a hell of a lot of storage for all that video. It's too bad so much of what's uploaded is crap.

I wonder how Google makes a profit out of storing all those videos, I doubt the ad clicks are growing as fast as that graph above.

Sponsored videos and ads in videos.

I had no idea youtube had that much video per minute!! i thought it would be like half of that

Wow that is insane! I wonder how much of that content is HD?

It would be impressive to see their datacenter(s) that house this data. Perhaps I should look into getting a job for capacity management at youtube. lol

Yesterday was the future...tommorow...is..history

Hatz off to Youtube. Thankyou so much for the support and innovation guys. People love to share their videos unlike profile on networking sites. You guys have made life easy. I dont know how much data you might be storing on your sites. But when i try to search for videos generally i end up finding too many duplicate videos of the same file. If you try and remove the duplicate videos from your site then you can allocate more space and time for uploaders.

impressive statistics...the only thing is that most of the content is rubbish, however that´s problem of the uploaders, not YouTube

That is ridiculous! I wonder how much of that is actually viewed. I don't quite understand how their servers can handle all of that data! It would be amazing to know how many hours/years of video's they have completely. That could be a lot!

I honestly want to know what servers they use and what the specs are, they must be absolutely insane! and there speed to the internet as well must be around 100GBps download and probably more upload!

Wish they would release that data, then again, it might then lead to hackers getting hold of data they could possibly use to crash the servers or something.

Still very impressive statistic. Honestly cannot believe how much is uploaded daily!

would take a lot of crash googles servers!

Talk about S-T-O-R-A-G-E. I just built gave my dad my old harddrive @ 80gb max. My how the times have gone.

I wonder how much Featured Videos "Sxephil, Shane Dawson, RayWillian, etc" make up of this and overall views..
