More Amazing YouTube Statistics

Here are some additional YouTube fun facts from their press page. To me, some of the most impressive are the ones regarding monetizing content.

• 2 billion video views per week are monetized.

• Hundreds of partners are making six figures per year.

• 94 of AdAge’s top 100 advertisers have run campaigns on YouTube.

• The total number of advertisers using YouTube has increased 10-fold in the last year.

• YouTube’s automated system that serves as a copyright-violation watchdog scans 100 years’ worth of content every day.

• Over 5 million people have found and subscribed to a friend’s channel using YouTube’s friend-finding tools.

• Every auto-shared tweet results in six new YouTube.com browsing sessions.

• More than half the videos on YouTube have been rated or commented on by users.

• Over 4 million people are connected and auto-sharing to at least one social network.

There you have it. Is it any wonder that it's as big as it is?
