YouTube is awesome. I use it to watch music videos, movie and TV clips, cat videos, tutorials for fixing things, and all sorts of things people post via social media. Speaking of cat videos, check out this adorable one: cats sharing food.
YouTube is huge. It is the second most visited website after Google (and Google owns YouTube). Here’s the ranking of the top sites visited in the month of November 2021
Plus, “youtube” is the third most popular search term on Google.
Some other YouTube facts:

- One Billion Hours of YouTube videos are watched daily.
- That means 694,000 hours of video are streamed on YouTube each minute. That’s more than Netflix at 452,000 hours of video per minute (but well short of TikTok’s 167,000,000 hours per minute.)
