Since their first 19-second video upload in 2005, YouTube continues to blow minds not just with its user-generated content, but with their statistics. Today, YouTube is localized in 22 countries in 24 different languages and exceeds 2 billion views per day. To understand what 2 billion views means, it's nearly double the prime-time audience of all of the 3 major networks in the U.S. combined.

Here are more unreal facts about YouTube:

  • The most subscribed channel is produced by a twenty-something college student from Hilo, Hawaii. With more than 2 million subscribers Ryan Higa, known on the video networking site as NigaHiga parlayed his comedic talent into a wildly popular feature length film.
  • A month after launching, YouTube offered its users embed codes. Today, there are tens of millions of YouTube players embedded across different websites.
  • Google acquired YouTube in 2006 for $1.65 billion worth of stock. In 2009, partner ad revenue more than tripled!
