Reply to comment by [deleted] in [OC] Youtube has over 1 billion hours of videos, we Built an AI Search Engine that can find exact timestamps for anything on Youtube by simonezchen

Good point, here’s we got this information.

  1. We calculated the number of hours of video uploaded to Youtube every minute from 2007-2022 source: statista
  2. We found how many words are spoken per hour of human conversation source: virtualspeech
  3. We calculated the number of words in the average book source: jericho writers

Then we did some calcualations with those numbers to arrive at 99,338,400 books on Youtube

You can see the details of those calculations here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1UbekWhTLJKQj6ZLipg1R269CQ8g0ACDbzPRDFN14inc/edit#gid=52223737

Edit: I also have a question about the last thing you said > there’s so much more content than that though

What other content is there?
