We all love watching videos on Gamereactor and YouTube alike, and now the US site for the latter has confirmed that people worldwide watch videos on YouTube alone for one billion hours every single day.
This doesn't indicate the amount of clicks the clips receive, however, but the actual time viewers spend gazing at their screens (or having fallen asleep in front of them). Cristos Goodrow, VP of engineering at YouTube, says that this means "if you were to sit and watch a billion hours of YouTube, it would take you over 100,000 years. 100,000 years ago, our ancestors were crafting stone tools and migrating out of Africa while mammoths and mastodons roamed the Earth. If you spent 100,000 years traveling at the speed of light, you could travel from one end of the Milky Way to the other (and you wouldn't age a day!)." Have you watched your daily YouTube fix already?
