This YouTube statistic collection is an offshoot of our original Google post. The original post for all Google stats was getting a bit cumbersome and tough to navigate as it neared 100 stats. Hopefully, this new format will help you find the stat you are looking for much quicker.
- User Totals
- Demographics
- Activity and Video Stats
- Mobile Stats
- Advertising and Revenue Stats
- Etc.- all in one place
I try to go through each and every stat regularly and update as much as possible, but we all know that some stats are easier to track down than others. As always, every stat is linked to its original source and has the source date listed.

or get it in one of my report bundles:
Bundle 1: Google Product report bundle (Android, Google, YouTube).
Bundle 2: Billion users club digital report bundle (Android, Facebook, Facebook Messenger, Google, Microsoft, Whatsapp, YouTube).
Bundle 3: Video Streaming Service Report Bundle (Netflix, Amazon Prime, YouTube, Roku, Hulu)
Bundle 4: Social Media Report Bundle (Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, LinkedIn, Reddit, YouTube)
Please note that some of these numbers are easier to find than others. A few of these stats come from YouTube/Google’s own reports, but some are based on news reports and not official company tallies. Basically, this is the best I can find and I don’t guarantee anything to be 100% accurate.

This is all very interesting stuff, I agree. However, what I’m most interested in is seeing the numbers that reveal the volume of data uploaded to Youtube. How many petabytes have been uploaded since its inception? How much is uploaded on a daily basis, etc. How much bandwidth is used by its userbase worldwide on a daily, hourly, per second basis? I’d love to see this pointed out in a future article, or be linked to one that has already been written that covers the numbers I refer to. Thanks a lot!
I’d like to know the number of YouTube accounts that have at least one uploaded video. Somebody’s regular YouTube account and Google+ YouTube account should count as the same account for listing both that stat and the total number of YouTube accounts. Whether somebody uploaded at least one video from both their regular YouTube account and Google+ YouTube account, it should count as one account that has at least one uploaded video.
