I initially saw this post on /r/formula1, but didn't like the way it was visualized. I found that the circular graph distorts proportions and makes it overall unnecessarily hard to follow. So I took the data from there and created my own visualization using Python (Jupyter Notebook, Matplotlib) and did some final touch-ups in Inkscape and Paint.net.

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?

5 black cops in the same city where civil rights activist Martin Luther king jr was killed, beat to death a 140lb black man who was unarmed and crying out for his mother, after they detained him for no good reason. The five black cops were unceremoniously denounced by the police department (the only “good” thing to happen in this whole mess), while the white officer whose body-cam footage has been all over the place was not disciplined, despite the lack of any attempt on his part to intervene in the cold-blooded killing his coworkers were committing.

It’s heinous.

ETA: I grew up in Memphis (where this happened) and wish I could say that I’m even slightly surprised by it, but it’s heartbreakingly and infuriatingly predictable.
