Five Years In, YouTube Is Now Streaming Two Billion Views Per Day

“nearly double the prime-time audience of all three major US television networks combined”

It’s hard to believe, but it’s been five years since YouTube launched and changed the way people share video online (it was acquired by Google a year and a half later). To celebrate its birthday, YouTube has just announced a major new milestone: it’s streaming a whopping two billion views per day (the company notes that this is “nearly double the prime-time audience of all three major US television networks combined”).

Which is why Obama wants to regulate the internet.
