According to a blog post from YouTube, users upload 72 hours of video a minute to the website. Not a typo. 72 hours a minute.
It's nearly double the same time last year, when users were uploading 48 hours of video every 60 seconds.
Users of the video-sharing site love watching clips, too. They're logging 3 billion hours a month viewing videos on the site.
"What started as a handful of videos shared among friends has transformed into a global platform delivering the next generation of channels to anyone, anywhere, and on any device," reads an excerpt from the YouTube post.
