Almost none of the 14.8 billion videos on YouTube have ever been seen. So far.
YouTube’s first video, a 19-second embarrassing video of the platform’s co-founder talking about elephants at the zoo, was uploaded on April 23, 2005. But after 20 years, YouTube has grown from its humble beginnings to become so massive that the firm claims it is the new Hollywood. With billions of hours of daily viewing, YouTube is the most popular TV streaming service in the world. Prominent YouTubers consistently outperform well-known studios. In contrast, it is anticipated that 823 million movie tickets were sold in the United States and Canada combined in 2024. In the meantime, MrBeast’s most popular video alone received 762 million views, or almost one view for every ten persons on the planet.
