We’re used to YouTube throwing out stats about their web videos but their latest revelation is utterly mind-blowing and surely proves to anyone that had doubts about the popularity of web video that it is an unstoppable force in the online world.

According to YouTube, every second, one hour of footage is uploaded to the site. That’s nine months worth of consecutive video content uploaded every two hours. A century of video is uploaded to YouTube every ten days.

There’s going to be a lot of garbage there for sure and YouTube estimates that around 99% of the views are focused on 30% of the site’s content, but the point is that web video is incredibly popular and YouTube as rapidly becoming one of the most important sites on the Internet, it already is.

If you don’t have web video, you are missing out, simple. If you would like to talk about getting a web video production made for you why not get in touch.
