YouTube has 918 channels over one million subscribers and roughly 1,000 creators earning at least $1 million. Fullscreen's 35,000 partners generate 6 billion monthly views versus Freedom's 75,000 partners at 1.5 billion. A new Let's Play video launches every five seconds.
Here are 5 facts that you didn't know about YouTube. Now these facts are going to have to do with statistics because that's the type of guy I am. I'm really into like numbers on YouTube and like how much YouTubers earned and, you know, things like that. How many subscribers certain YouTubers have. I'm a numbers type of guy. It just kind of interests me. So I'm going to give you 5 facts that you didn't know about YouTube. And the first thing we're going to talk about is how many channels have over 1 million subscribers. Achieving 1 million subscribers is ridiculous. That's literally 1 million people subscribed to you, and you know, 1 million is a huge number. And 918 channels have over 1 million subscribers on YouTube. So if 918 people have done it, it's not as special. Um, I mean, it's definitely an achievable goal if you actually work hard and upload videos to YouTube. So that's the first thing: 918 channels have over 1 million subscribers. And then the second thing is 15,000 channels have over 100,000 subscribers. Now that's, you know, that's a lot of people. 15,000 people have over 100,000 subs on YouTube, and that's just— it's crazy. So if you, you know, if your goal is to get a massive channel on YouTube, 100,000 subs is massive. 15,000 people have done it, so it's definitely achievable if you want to make that one of your goals and you're willing to work towards it. Third is the largest YouTube network is Freedom. Freedom has over 75,000 YouTube partners, so literally 75,000 people partnered with Freedom, and Freedom gets like 15% of their earnings. So Freedom, the number one YouTube network, is making a ton of money because they are literally partnered with 75,000 people. So all those people, 15% of their earnings Freedom gets. 15% because, you know, since Freedom's their network, they get to take a chunk of the YouTube partners' earnings. So that was pretty cool. Fullscreen's the second largest with 35,000 partners, but despite the fact that Freedom has 75,000 YouTube partners, they only average 1.5 billion views per month, while Fullscreen averages 6 billion views per month and half the partners. So Fullscreen has half the partners, but obviously their partners are way more quality And so they're going for quality over quantity because Fullscreen has literally half the partners but 4 times the views per month. And those networks are pulling in some insane money because if you're getting a percentage of 75,000 people's earnings, you're making a lot of money. Now, the fourth thing I wanted to talk about was how many people have made $1 million off YouTube. That's, you know, $1 million is a lot, especially to make off of uploading videos to the internet. And so I was on Social Blade, I actually— it took a little while to figure it out, but it's around like 980, so we'll round it to 1,000. 1,000 people have made over $1 million off of YouTube. 1,000 people have made $1 million off of YouTube. That is a lot of money. And for 1,000 people to make that much off of a, you know, a website, that's ridiculous. And that's pretty crazy. And then the fifth statistic is something a lot of gamers like me would laugh at. Every 5 seconds, a new YouTube Let's Play is started. Like a Minecraft Let's Play, Outlast, I don't know what people are playing right now, but every 5 seconds a new YouTube Let's Play is started. And we all know 99% of people who start Let's Plays never end up getting views on it and are really just wasting their time rendering and uploading videos to the internet. So, uh, haha. Anyways, that's the fifth one. Every 5 seconds, a new YouTube Let's Play is started, which is kind of crazy to think about, but it is true. There are literally tens and tens— uh, wow. There are literally like 50,000 to 100,000 people who do Let's Plays and upload Let's Plays daily, and like 99% of them don't get any views and are really just wasting their time because they're not even that entertaining. But, uh, that's pretty much that. That's 5 facts about YouTube you might not have known. And, uh, let me know if you did know any of them because I'd be kind of surprised. Hopefully you enjoyed, and I'll see you in my next video.
