YouTube Reaches One Billion Monthly Users
On Wednesday, YouTube announced a new milestone: the site now has more than one billion unique users every month. This means that nearly one out of every two people on the internet visit YouTube.
YouTube listed some fun ways of quantifying one billion users:
- the site’s monthly viewership is the equivalent of roughly ten Super Bowl audiences
- if YouTube were a country, it would be the third largest in the world (after China and India)
- PSY and Madonna would have to repeat their Madison Square Garden performance (in front of a packed house) 200,000 more times
TechCrunch notes that this number is something even TV networks dream of, and speculates that – as a result of these numbers – “online video ad spend will go up.”
