How popular is YouTube?

It’s no secret that YouTube’s video service is extremely popular. Recently, Google has been trying to improve the quality of content uploaded to the service in order to further increase the audience of its resource. However, the picture is still impressive: over the past 8 months, the number of downloaded videos has grown by 25 percent (now 4 billion videos on YouTube). Now about a hour of video is uploaded per second. And yes, in 2011, YouTube videos were watched 1 trillion times.

To clearly show how popular YouTube is, the developers of the service even created a special site. Here in an accessible form (even very accessible) in different languages ​​shows the achievements of video hosting from Google. As mentioned above, the developers are still not satisfied with the result, and plan to attract more people to the service.

This is done by creating quality content. For example, not so long ago, Google agreed with the stars of cinema, sports, television shows to participate in the new YouTube project. In order to enable users to receive all new content without problems, separate channels were created. In addition, Google negotiates with music labels, film studios, gradually uploading clips, videos, music. Naturally, as a result of all these steps, the service audience is growing at an avalanche-like pace.

Despite the fact that a trillion views is a huge number, next year the developers hope to break this record. And we must think that they will succeed.
