YouTube video uploads hit 3 days/minute

Back in late March, I linked to YouTube's announcement that they were receiving an hour of video every second -- 60 hours' worth of video per minute. Just 10 weeks later, they've made a new announcement: they're receiving 72 hours' worth of video a minute.

It's YouTube's 7th birthday... and you’ve outdone yourselves, again (Thanks, Matt!)

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

So I think I have my calculations correct on this…

3 days per minute is equal to 180 days per hour…

180 days per hour is equal to 4320 days per day…

Which is equal to 4320 years per year.

So that’s… like… a month’s worth of badly lit emo girls babbling semi-coherently, and guys getting hit in the balls, every 10 minutes…

But still I cant click on a you tube video without it stopping and buffering at the worst time regardless of time of day, bandwidth , computer, location, etc…

I’ll bet a large portion of that is 10 hour loops or otherwise insignificant video – there are quite a few of those up.
